When using either the unpatched 2.6.21_rc5 or SUSEs patched
2.6.21_rc6_git3-20070410174235 on a SUSE-10.2 x86_64 system the parallel port
doesn't work right. If I "cat some_asciifile >/dev/lp0" the output on my
Epson Stylus Color 880 is unreadable. "cat /dev/zero >/dev/lp0" creates
random characters on the paper. Printing using cups also doesn't work any
more.
Switching back to SUSEs 2.6.18.8-0.1 kernel fixes the problem.
Any Ideas, what might be broken here ?
Nope, but I have the same problem.
I'll dig into it some day, but it's not very high priority for me.
At some point that could be a problem, I have a shared printer on
parallel (and replacing a printer for 11x17 work isn't cheap), as well
as one PL/IP requirement, which is embedded in industrial machinery not
likely to be upgraded.
Non-critical in the sense that I'm sure I can run old kernels for a
decade if needed, but hopefully something to be fixed. Since there's no
regressions list any more, I guess we will all have to complain about
problems individually. :-(
