	Does your driver fix the problem whereby if your printer
isn't turned on, but is connected when you boot Unix, /dev/lp refuses
to work?  It will even stop working if I take the printer off line
while it is printing.  Both cases require a reboot to regain functionality.
And how about all those parallel cards I've tried that cause a delay
between printing each line under Unix, but work fine under Dos?  2 out
of 3 cards seem to bring on that symptom.  I'm currently using 386v3.0e,
but had the problems with SysV/AT also.
