This is on 3.4 Stable, Another "me too", BUT, with a "data point". NEC SuperScript 870, ASUS MB. Had the same problem when the BIOS was set to ECP+EPP on the parallel port. Sinces it only a printer, I set the BIOS to Normal and deliberately tried to introduce the problem (pull paper tray, etc). Didn't have the problem. Two things had happened, the BIOS change and I removed the "flags 0x40" from the config file. Relevant piece of dmesg: ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <NEC SuperScript 870> PRINTER PrintGear,PCL,PJL lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port dmesg prior to the change: ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 flags 0x40 on isa ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/7 bytes threshold lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Notice it used to say SMC-like chipset? Just a data point. m On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Brian Dean wrote: > > For what its worth, I am able to reproduce this problem on my system. > Simply submit something to lpr, wait for the printer light to blink, > and pull the paper tray.
