It's a plain old run of the mill hp 4p on the parallel port.  It
was working yesterday with linux.  

Actually, I'm wondering if the handbook is out of sync.  

I've remade the device (which seemed unnecessary), and I've tried
lptctl (which I've never needed to use in past installs.

The manual says to 

>1.Type:

>          # lptcontrol -i -u N

>      to set interrupt-driven mode for lptN.

but I get:

fac13ttyp3:/dev>lptcontrol -i -u 0
lptcontrol: illegal option -- u
usage: lptcontrol -i | -p | -s | -e [-d device]

Is there a more recent manual, or am I missing hte obvious again?
