1) they can't share an interrupt,
2) if a stray interrupt occurs and is caught by irq 7 at the
wrong time, it can confuse the lp driver,
3) I haven't seen 2) above since 1.1.5.1 :-),
4) try just 0x378/5 and 0x278/{4,3} interfaces as lpt0 and lpt1 if
they'll do it, that is, no irq 7 lp, no shared irq, and only 2
interfaces,
5) to get 3 lp's to work, I used an MGP and 2 single LP cheap boards
and X-acto, solder and wire to change the IRQ on the second single LP.
