If no IRQ is specified in the kernel configuration, or the IRQ specified is not available at attach time, only the polling device may be used. .Pp The next lower bit (bit 6, or add 64) indicates the driver should avoid initializing the printer. .Pp The next lower bit (bit 5, or add 32) requests that the driver do automatic LF generation when printing CRs. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/lpt0 -compact .It Pa /dev/lpt0 first interrupt-driven parallel port device .It Pa /dev/lpa0 first polled parallel port device .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 4 , .Xr isa 4 , .Xr ulpt 4
