I posted a message earlier to -stable, but maybe this a better forum for this question. I have a print server at home running -stable, and as part of bootup I run lptcontrol -e to enable extended mode on the port (since it comes up in compatible mode, I could set this with flags in the kernel). It seems without doing this, things sent to the printer take forever to print. During anysort of print operation I get thousands of these messages, generated by line 788 of sys/dev/ppbus/lpt.c: 786 case EINVAL: 787 /* advanced mode not avail */ 788 log(LOG_NOTICE, LPT_NAME "%d: advanced mode not avail, polling\n", unit); 789 break; This is quite annoying, so I wanted to know why I was getting this message because it seems that it occurs even with just lptcontrol -p. I was wondering if there's any reason why this could not be done in the case with EINVAL was returned from ppb_write() instead of just complaining about it foreach call to ppb_write(). Something like: sc->sc_irq &= (~LP_ENABLE_EXT); sc->sc_irq |= LP_ENABLE_IRQ; added to the EINVAL case block. --- Mark atkin901 at NOSPAM yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
