    I think that Ronnie Arosa has diagnosed this problem as being to do
    with write particular values to a particular register.

    I have put a new linux-oxpci.patch patch at
    <URL:http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/patches/> which should work
    around this problem and allow you to print. Please try it out and let
    me know.

    (If you don't want to have to start the kernel patch/compile from
    scratch, the difference is to change this line:

            /* oxsemi_840 */ { 1, { { 0, 1 }, } },

    into this line:

            /* oxsemi_840 */ { 1, { { 0, -1 }, } },

    )

    Thanks,
    Tim.
