Yes. It has changed quite a bit - and you can now share the parallell port (you can print and use yuor zip drive at the same time).
For me, that has made the printer _really_ slow - the data is transferred in chunks, so the printer pauses for quite some time a few times for every page, while the same setup prints continually (and rather fast) in 2.0.33. Trying to set polling with tunelp doesn't work either - and I haven't found any pointers to more info in the sources or in Documentation/ either.
(ECP, Deskjet 600 BTW)
