It can't print to some printers the old lpt-to-isa attachment could,
even when set to what are theoretically the same settings.  Why, I'm
not sure -- it looks like the last FIFO full of data never gets sent
out; the first bit of the input prints, but not the last, and the
process with the device open hangs while the CPU pegs at 100%.
