Ah, I see.
Well, in theory these timeouts should be non-fatal. The code in parport_pc
goes to some trouble to make sure it knows how much data was left in the FIFO
when the timeout occurred, in order to make sure that none is lost. But it's
entirely possible that bugs are lurking, for example if it's misdetecting the
depth of the FIFO at initialisation.
