Regrettably, I was wrong about this.  Another FreeBSDer out there
let me know how to bring back the deprecated olpt driver, and that was
the final solution to the problem.  I sincerely believe the new
driver is still broken and randomly drops characters going out the
parallel port.  Doesn't anybody at headquarters use a parallel port
printer any more?                                       -- George
