>Description:
On my system (Dell PowerEdge 1300 dual PIII), switching lpt0 to extended
mode using lptcontrol -e and attempting to print anything causes an 
immediate panic and reboot. The printer is a HP 2100M.

I tried using extended mode to fix another problem where the printer 
occasionally hangs necessitating a reboot after a suggestion in PR 14787
(no PR submitted for the original problem as I want to investigate a bit
further)

dmesh output:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 flags 0x40 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 2100 Series> PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port

>How-To-Repeat:
# lptcontrol -e
# lpr -Plp somefile.ps
>Fix:
None known
