Exactly the same for my configuration. I installed the system from a
"make release" at Aug, 21. The printer only works if ECP is
disabled. I have a parallel port ZIP drive attached (ick).

There is an interesting phenomen: If I enable ECP, the printer port
gets detected (Winbond W83877F on a VIA Apollo Master board), but the
ZIP drive doesn't. After a reboot, even the BIOS doesn't find the
parallel port any more. I have to do a power cycle to revive it again.
