I tested again with .97 and it works OK.
I load lp.o as a module, if it matters.
BTW, lp.o is used in it's default (polling) mode. I never got it to work
with interrupts (I tried to set "io=0,0x378,0 irq=0,7,0" and the startup
message said "(irq = 7)" but I never saw one character printed. I did not
yet search enough on this matter neither did I play with tunelp yet.
