I did as you said but, first of all, in dmesg I cannot find any line reading
"Interrupt storm detected on "irq7: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source"
but only
% dmesg |grep lpt0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Polled port
Now, I have the following in
% cat /boot/device.hints |grep ppc
hint.ppc.0.at="isa"
hint.ppc.0.irq="7"
hint.ppc.0.flags="0x28"
Please help.
Ciao
Vittorio
By the way,
in /etc/printcap
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
