Printer does not work with newer kernel versions

[Sven Borkert]

Hi,

I'm using Fedora Core 3 on a Compaq Deskpro EN and a HP Laserjet 4000.
With kernel 2.6.9-1.667 printing works fine. As I updated to
2.6.10-1.741_FC3, system-config-printer tells me that the printer is
always disconnected. Updating to 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 still did not fix the
problem. When i boot 2.6.9-1.667 again, printing works without problems
again. So, atm I'm stuck on the old kernel version because I need the
printer.

dmesg with the newer kernel says:

parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]

With the older kernel "lp" reports the printer correctly.

Hope anyone can help me.
