Same here as well. Since 3.x, I also have to put the parallel port in
polled mode on my PCs, a friend sees the same.
This is on Asus P55TP4N or P5A with a Lexmark Optra Ep, or a brand X board
with a HP LJ an Epson Stylus Photo.
We have even seen problems booting FBSD when the printers were not switched

Haven't tried it with 3.4 yet though, waiting for the CDs to arrive in
