The problem seems to be that a printer is NOT connected. The 'acknowledge' pin on the interface is floating, thus is extremely susceptible to EMI. Try either connecting a printer to the interface or dig up the Centronics interface data and tie the offending pin high or low as indicated. Same problem occurs with IRQ 15 with no drives attached to the IDE secondary port. These spurious IRQ's are merely an annoyance except on a router box, where they sometimes cause overruns on the NIC receive buffer.
