I'll try that (in all certainty, I should have realized this long ago) however, I do have a problem with parallel ports under BSD regardless as it is, it would seem that interrupt-mode doesn't play nicely with any of the ports I've tried (from 486-class all the way to Athlon) and the ports have to be put into polling mode otherwise they print so slowly, I can get out and walk faster so-to-speak. I've read somewhere that EPP mode produces the best results for printing under BSD, I've gone this route with onboard ports trying interrupt-mode but produces the same result.
