Folks:
I recently decomissioned an old PC and replaced it with a U5 I had
sitting around doing nothing. So far, so good, but attempting to
move a printer that hung off the PC to the U5 proved rather futile...
I don't yet have a blinkenlights breakout box but my attempt to
dump stuff to the parallel port provoked zero reaction from my
printer, so I'm assuming we have a problem. I also did note
the `XXX: we should turn the enable bit for the parallel port
in the in the superio chip'.
Just figured I'd see if anyone else if using (or having problems
using) the parallel port. If not, I'll have a poke at it at some
point, as I'd like to hang that printer off that box.
Thanks,
--rafal
