| I'd really like to say you are having IRQ conflicts but I don't
| know enough about how FreeBSD handles lpt ports and they're IRQ's
| to say.. :)
Willing to admit it, but we slammed a couple dozen print jobs between
300K and 1.5M at all 3 printers, and they worked like a charm. So if it
be irq conflict, Jim lad, 'tis wondrous strange. Argh!

| My geuss is FreeBSD gets that info from the BIOS.
|
| Physically check your lpt boards and make sure they are
| setup correctly and not conflicting.
| I would set them as: (I've never done this for FreeBSD)
| lpt0 = 0x3bc/7, lpt1 = 0x378/5, lpt1 = 0x278/(upto card)
Indeed you'll see the wee beasties are set accordingly (I hope that last
'lpt1' was a typo).
|
| I'd be interested in seeing your dmesg output.
Included below.
|
| I seem to have problems with NE2000's at 0x300/12, I find 0x2c0/10
| works best for me.
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
