I've noticed something really odd & bothersome about using the lp.o module for printing. Once you print a single job, you can not shut off the printer at any time or the system slows to a snail's pace crawl, practically locked-up... the only way to get it back (other than switching the printer back on) is to remove the lp & parport_pc modules, then kill the lpd... What is up with this? How can i fix it? -.bill.layer.- -.those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking.- -.frogtown.- -.minnesota.- -.u.s.a.-
