OK. That makes sense, especially after starting to read the libieee1284 code.

Well, actually it turns out that it isn't. We were having some trouble
with our data acquisition, where it seemed like occasionally something
would write to the control port other than our DAQ program. So, I was
suspecting that some program running on the computer was trying to use
lp, but we finally traced the problem to the peripheral.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I had not been using it as I was getting
some error messages, but I think that those might have been related to the
permissions on /dev/parport0. It seems to work fine now. Thanks for your
help.
