More of the same, I would guess.

That's a shame. It's worth knowing that 2.0.36 worked, and that the FIFO
didn't. IEEE 1284 is quite dismissive of compatibility mode, and only
defines it as much as it has to. It doesn't talk about error conditions
like out-of-paper, for example.
It's starting to look like 2.2 is too fussy about what lines are in which
state before going ahead and printing. Interestingly, it looks as though
the ECP chipset is too fussy as well. 2.0 just waits for the Busy line to
indicate ready, from what I remember.
