           If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
           macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.

+          Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes.  This
+          is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
+          port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
+          IDs).

+          This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
+          It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
+          or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.
+
+          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+          module will be called ppdev.

+          If unsure, say N.
