The printer filter you're using was exactly the same as the one I was
using.  

Anyhow, I've sent off a bug report.  In the meantime, I will try compiling
a kernel with the old lpt driver enabled (since I don't have any plug'n'pray
parallel port devices, nor do I intend to purchase any...).

Overall, this sort of thing should have been tested and or better 
documented.  Not all of us are kernel hackers, and not all of us have
the time to play with things like this.  There wasn't even so much as
a blurb about it stating that there may be problems with it.  Thought
this was why we have -CURRENT...

Not acceptable.
