 Hi together,
   just found this pr while looking for something different...
 
 I have experienced a rather similar behaviour with RELEASE-4.4:
 When paper runs empty, the system freezes. This does not happen
 always, and seems to have disappeared after upgrading from a 
 486 ASUS SP3 board to something newer.
 
 As soon as paper was refilled, system would continue to run just
 fine, so this was not a big problem.
 
 Configuration of the printer was as follows:
 device          ppc0    at isa? irq 7
 device          ppbus
 device          lpt
 
 On boot, the printer port was detected as follows:
 Oct 19 22:22:02 disp /kernel: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #5: Sun Oct 14 02:37:59 CEST 2001
 Oct 19 22:22:02 disp /kernel: root@disp.oper.dinoex.org:/u1/src/sys/compile/D1R44V1
 [...]
 Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
 Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
 Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
 Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
 
 There was no option PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET active in that kernel. After
 adding that option, the output looks as follows (but there is no
 printer attached to the machine anymore, so I cant say if this helps
 the problem):
 
 FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #7: Tue Dec 18 01:07:19 CET 2001
     root@gate.oper.dinoex.org:/u1/src/sys/compile/G1R44V1
 [...]
 ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
 ppc0: SMC FDC37C665GT chipset (PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
 
 rgds,
 PMc
