I will confirm this problem with the lpt driver.
Even worse, on my LaserJet IIIsi printer... Not only did it hang the system,
but I went as far as turning the printer off, then back on.
THE SYSTEM REBOOTED. There was no panic or other context to share.
I suspect it MAY have been related to the about of time it takes the LJ III
to cycle on a power-up.
Regardless, this is wholly unacceptable for a RELEASE.
FWIW, my dmesg follows to show the port-type, etc.
ppp0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
pps0: <Pulse per second Timing Interface> on ppbus0
Cheers,
