Subject: Re: usb/79524: printing to Minolta PagePro 1[23]xxW via USB fails
with "device busy"

I've had reports by a FreeBSD user that the patch proposed by M. Warner
Losh on 08/07/05 on the usb mailing list fixes that problem. I haven't
tested it for myself, because building -CURRENT inside a virtual machine
on a slow box just takes too long... I'm attaching the mail-exchange I
had with "my" tester below (I initially got into contact with him
because I also fixed a few 64 bit issues with my driver, but there was
definitely a problem with ulpt, too). Thanks for fixing this.
