Subject:   Slow USB parallel printer adapter

I just bought a Belkin F5U002 USB Parallel Printer adapter, and 
compiled/installed 4.3-BETA.  The problem is that when I attempt to 
print, the printer does not get the data until a random interval.  
When it does receive some of the information, it doesn't get all of it, 
and pauses while it is in the middle of printing, as if something is 
blocking the data from flowing.  echo "test" > /dev/ulpt0 works, after 10 
seconds or so. I have a really old Tyan S1686D motherboard with two 
built-in USB ports...

Note: I did notice that it is sharing an IRQ with dc1, but that shouldn't 
matter, since they're pci devices...right?...

Anyways, any help would be appreciated
