    Ok, before you reply on my previous posting. The modes I tried were
    - EPP 1.7
    - SPP
    - EPP 1.9 (wich worked best)

    I set the bios to once to ECP, but as I didn't enable FIFO queues in the
    kernel, the kernel probably didn't use it (but SPP instead).

    Tomorrow: the ECP side of the story ;-)
