(To whom it should concern: whatever exploder site is handling my linux-kernel mail, you ain't handlin' it unless you equate not delivering it with handling it. *Please* fix this. Keeping up with linux-kernel via the hypermail archives is frustrating.)
For kernel version 2.1.32 I note the following configuration inconsistencies/problems... If you select "parallel port support" (CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT), it appears that you *must* also select "plug and play support" (CONFIG_PNP) and "auto-probe for parallel devices" (CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT_AUTOPROBE) if what you really want is "parallel printer support" (CONFIG_PRINTER). The documentation strongly suggests that you must set CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT if you want to do anything with the parallel port: fine, but I really don't want all the PNP support. Unfortunately, all the PNP stuff has to be enabled or I get all kinds of undefined symbols in the lp.o driver, and it's possible to arrive at that state using several paths :-).
