My USB printer is/was using it and it does not work correctly anymore.
The print job never gets kicked out of the printer. This is with an HP
LJ 2100M (Postscript) connected via a Belkin USB-to-parallel cable.
There's no reason given in the CHANGES.txt, but the code change
apparently happened a long time ago. It could be that since I am running
a very new FBSD 4.6-STABLE (20020807) the functionality finally was
implemented to (I assume) omit the final FF.
I am using the following patch, which is going into the FBSD port in
about 5 minutes...
