If you're willing to put that change into your 1.6.x lpt.c and that makes
your printer work, I'll be happy to submit a pullup to the 1.6 branch for
that change as well... I just didn't have a 1.6 system to test on, and I
didn't want to ask for a pullup without testing.
(One other thing that may be an issue is conf.c not having an entry for
lpt, and/or MAKEDEV not making the nodes by default/making them with
the wrong majors; I think we had both issues in the past, but my memory
is hazy on when they were fixed and/or if they're in 1.6.x)
