That's why I checked for this case. FWIW, juggling the hardware so that the fxp and uhci controller aren't on the same IRQ, and the printer works. However, the fxp is now sharing IRQs with an an aic7890, and the uhci is sharing an irq with a 2940. Strange stuff. > > > Anyone got a clue as to why the IRQ would change?

And it looks like FreeBSD had nothing to do with it, other than not working sharing the fxp & uhci controllers.
