    Hi,

    I have encountered some difficulties in
    printing with recent kernels. This is after a
    long successful experience with 2.2.16.

    The hardware is detected however I cannot print.

    Here is the relevant part from dmesg:

       parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
       parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation.
       parport_probe: succeeded
       parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 900
       lp0: using parport0 (polling).
       parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
       parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation.
       parport_probe: succeeded
       parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 900
       lp0: using parport0 (polling).
       parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
       parport_probe: succeeded
       parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 900
       lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

    Writing to the /dev/lp0 results in nothing.

    Here is the response to lsmod:
       
       Module Size Used by
       parport_probe 3392 0 (autoclean)
       parport_pc 7360 1 (autoclean)
       lp 5248 0 (autoclean)
       parport 6896 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp]

       lockd 41504 0 (autoclean) (unused)
       sunrpc 55488 0 (autoclean) [lockd]
       
    And here is some info from /proc/parport/0/*
       hilbert:/home/weg# for i in /proc/parport/0/*; do echo $i; echo ------------------; cat $i; done
       /proc/parport/0/autoprobe

    Any advice?

    Thank you.
