Yes, I messed up the diff. -1284-2 and -1284-12843-2 should be available in
an hour or two.

The parport_device_id function just isn't paying enough attention. It
should look at the length field. When the parport_probe routine for getting
the device ID works with the quirky printers I hope to move a lot of the
code into parport_device_id.

Yes, or rather, the code for parport_probe will move into the IEEE1284.3
implementation.
