I did not have Plug and Play Support enabled in the kernel... so that
means that the IEEE1284 autoprobe was not enabled either...
Under Character devices... i only have parallel printer support enabled...
i did not enable Support IEEE1284 status readback...
Now... i rebooted... and did linux emergency... and linux
init=/bin/bash... but the printer still started printing garbage on
boot-up...
Here is my long dmesg... these are only the boot-up messages... i don't
know how to get dmesg specific for parport... or if there even is such a
thing hehe...
