[Bug 38805] Re: parallel port printing is garbled when using ECP

Wed May 31 02:53:02 UTC 2006

I can't print in ubuntu dapper updated to 2006-5-30 with kernel
2.6.15-23-k7

dmesg shows:

...
[4294899.984000] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
[4294916.502000] ppdev0: registered pardevice
[4294916.516000] ppdev0: negotiated back to compatibility mode because user-space forgot
[4294916.516000] ppdev0: unregistered pardevice

I have tried configuring the parallel port from BIOS as Standard, EPP,
ECP, SPP and ECP+EPP with no success.

Is there a workaround?
