lptest > /dev/lpt0 gives many blank pages.  Yes I will need
an ASCII to PS filter as soon as I can print PS files.  Yes,
it does seem like it is processing data when I send it a PS
file.

Also, I noticed that the command:

	# lptcontrol -p

gives the error:

	lptcontrol: ioctl: Operation not supported

When I originally configured the kernel for irq7, the lptcontrol
command did not give this message.
