Yes, that's pretty much what I'd expect. The tmw tree isn't all that
different to 2.2.7 for that code path.

Weird. It's the right number of characters but they're just wrong?
You could try using PIO rather than DMA by specifying "dma=none" as a
module parameter to parport_pc, along with the base address and irq. I'd
expect it to do exactly the same thing though.
Well, here's a patch against 2.2.7-tmw1. It changes the behaviour of
printer in the absence of interrupts. The idea is that we don't require
the paper-out and on-line signals to be in any particular state, just
nBusy and nFault. Let me know if this is any better.
Andrea, did I see a mail a few weeks ago about needing an LP_CAREFUL ioctl
still? Could this be related to that case?
Tim.
