This is a very interesting bug report.  Strangely enough,
I have run into EXACTLY the same problem on a system and it
drove us nuts.  It was a problem with the parallel port
hardware and a missing interrupt.  I ended up editting
the parallel port driver to add a 'timeout' function,
but this only made things worse.

The user replaced his Motherboard and problem went away.

Good luck on this one.

By the way,  I have seen similar problems with
HP JetDirect (external) units attached to parallel
ports.  Some printers are fine, others die.  Almost
always tracked down to hardware/cabling problem
on printer.
