Similar here, I can't print with 2.0.6[01] and when I build (lp is a
module) I get these new error messages:

lp.c:558: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
lp.c:562: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

It appears that there has been some change to the structure
file_operations which causes the type declaration of lp_read()
to be incorrect.
