You need to check the BIOS setting for the parallel port as well to make
sure that the advanced settings aren't turned off.

Hooking a parallel printer to the port, then running the yast2 local

you something useful.

You might even be able to find it using the yast2 scanner setup :-).

The essence of all slavery consists in taking the produce of another's
labor by force. It is immaterial whether this force be founded on ownership
of the slave or ownership of the money that he must get to live on.
