    I switch the BIOS to EPP 1.9 mode, now the following code hangs.

    int parport = open("/dev/parport0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY);
    ioctl(parport, PPCLAIM); <-- hangs

    Why would the ioctl() hang when I try to claim the port?

    syslog shows:

    kernel: ppdev0: registered pardevice

    But nothing else. Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot this problem?
