After installing 3.1-RELEASE: ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa ppc0: W83877F chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold ppb0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0: ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 540> MLC,PCL,PML nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 If I set up lpt0, printing is perfect. If I use the above ppbus configuration, I get garbage after anywhere from a few lines to a quarter page goes by. I have gone back to lpt0 for now. One question in particular: Is there any purpose to the PnP device probe apart from printing out what got found? That is, does it do something funky like create an extra device or some such (like PnP ISA soundcards)?
