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: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: on ppbus0 pps0: on ppbus0 Cheers, -skots -- Scott G.
