One more thing about the parallel port: I get messages like Aug 16 11:24:53 localhost kernel: [68538.182942] ppdev0: negotiated back to compatibility mode because user-space forgot
in /var/log/syslog, whenever the parallel port printing terminates (on the rare occasions when it happens to work, that is). Which argues that there's something wrong with the parallel port implementation.
