    After running insmod parport_pc with my parallel port's base IO address,
    I get this from dmesg:

    parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff
    parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff
    parport 0x378: You gave this address, but there is probably no parallel port
    there!
    parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
    parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff87(b8)
    parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff87(b8)
    parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff87(b8)
    parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff87(b8)

    I tried running printconf, to set up a printer, and things go ok
    until I try to print to it. The print job shows the following status
    for a few seconds, then goes away:

    IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'gs PID2=1157' at ...

    I guess setting up the printer drivers was kind of pointless if the
    parallel port isn't right. Any more thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Eric
