(2) Hello.
I've been attempting to figure out this problem for a long time, and have
come to the conclusion that it must be a kernel bug (that or perhaps I'm a
bit dense). Whenever I have the option, "Device Drivers > Plug and Play >
ACPI Support" enabled, I become unable to print using my parallel port.
I'm using an ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard with an AMD64 3200 chip and 1GB of RAM.
I have two printers, and this happens with both. Here are some forums in
which I have tried to solve this problem:

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

I hope this helps!

P.S. Please let me know if this turns out to be something fixable short of a
kernel modification!

hm, regressions are bad and the fact that it _used_ to work meand that we
should be able to make it work again.
Could you please raise a bug reports against acpi at bugzilla.kernel.org?
It might help if that report includes the output of `dmesg -s 1000000' for
both working and non-working kernels.
Thanks.

This may be a PnP bug. If you can provide further information, I'll
look into it.
Thanks,

Done...whoops...forgot to add dmesg output for working kernel. I'll post
another comment when I reboot.

What oher information would you like me to post?

At least on my hardware (ASUS A8V, W83627THF superio) problem is that it now
uses ECP...
Once parport_pc is loaded, it says it found PnPBIOS parport and finds printer
parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3
[PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP,DMA]
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
lp0: ECP mode
unfortunately write to /dev/lp* blocks indefinitely. SuperIO registers
inspection reveals that SIO is actually programmed to use DMA 1 and not DMA 3.
When SuperIO is reprogrammed, data are apparently sent somewhere (as writes to
/dev/lp no longer blocks), IRQ count is incremented for each block sent, but
unfortunately printer does not seem to agree that any data arrived.
Actually I believe that ECP mode never worked for me - but in the past
parport_pc just used SPP or EPP, and everything was happy. Now 'modprobe
parport_pc io=0x378' does not work anymore as parallel port hardware is kindly
disabled by PnPBIOS code :-( So I have to first enable parport in SuperIO, then
set parport mode to SPP, PS2, EPP1.7 or EPP1.9 (low three bits of F0 register in
function 1 must be 100, 000, 001 or 101) and load parport_pc io=0x378
io_hi=0x778 irq=7 dma=1. Then ECP mode is not used and printing works...
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 690C
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
If you are interested, ACPI DSDT is available at
http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/private/a8v.acpi.dsdt. W83627THF datasheet is
available from Winbond website... I do not understand AML sufficiently to tell
whether problem with DMA is caused by parport or AML interpreter or buggy DSDT.
Non-working ECP is either dead hardware or parport problem existing for very long.
