John, did you compile parport as kernel modules ("m") or monolithic ("y")?
If you've got modules, try "insmod parport; insmod parport_pc; insmod
lp" and let me know if things still go wrong. If not, it's probably the
IEEE 1284 autoprobe that's confusing your printers.
If you answered "y" to the parport questions when you were configuring,
please re-do the configuration saying "m" this time. ;-)
Thanks,
Tim.
