Printing with 2.2pre kernels?

[Timothy Hospedales <timothy@smasher.rs.itd.umich.edu>]

Hi all!
I have been using 2.2pre6 for the last few days and everything works perfectly
except this bizarre new parport device which broke my printer. :(.
Any advice on how to setup the parport thing properly would be greatly
appreciated!!!

lpq says this when I try to print:
 Status: cannot open '/dev/lp0' - 'Operation not supported by device', attempt
1490, sleeping 60 at 13:16:18

My lilo.conf section for this kernel is like:
image=/boot/bzImage3
        label=Test3
        read-only
        append="aha152x=0x140,9,7,1 parport=auto lp=parport0"

I now have a /proc/parport/0 directory, which reports:
$ ls
total 0
-r--r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jan 19 13:16 autoprobe
-r--r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jan 19 13:16 devices
-r--r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jan 19 13:16 hardware
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            0 Jan 19 13:16 irq
$ cat autoprobe 
$ cat devices 
$ cat hardware
base:   0x378
irq:    none
dma:    none
modes:  SPP
$ cat irq
none
$
