Agreed.

Yes, that's true.

With a Lexmark Optra EP:
machine1, 2.2.x kernel: works
machine1, 2.4.x kernel: ASCII works, PostScript doesn't print at all
machine2, 2.4.x kernel: works
This is with 'cat file > /dev/lp0'. When it fails, various lights on
the printer flash, as if annoyed.
On machine1, with 2.4.x kernel-but-remove-restore_state-call, it
works.
