Yes. It has changed quite a bit - and you can now share the parallell
port (you can print and use yuor zip drive at the same time).
For me, that has made the printer _really_ slow - the data is
transferred in chunks, so the printer pauses for quite some time a
few times for every page, while the same setup prints continually (and
rather fast) in 2.0.33. Trying to set polling with tunelp doesn't work
either - and I haven't found any pointers to more info in the sources
or in Documentation/ either.
