Subject[PATCH] Configure.help:
Hi,
it seems the Configure.help text for CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE
is incorrect: The default is to stall until the printer
is ready while the help text says the opposite.
(vi +540 drivers/char/lp.c)

Attached is a patch for 2.4.6-pre1 which fixes the help text.

Also, shouldn't CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE depend on CONFIG_PRINTER=y?
(it doesn't work when CONFIG_PRINTER=m, at least for me)

doing that; to actually get it to happen you need to pass the
option "console=lp0" to the kernel at boot time.

- Note that kernel messages can get lost if the printer is out of
- paper (or off, or unplugged, or too busy..), but this behaviour
- can be changed. See drivers/char/lp.c (do this at your own risk).

+ If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
+ busy..) the kernel will stall until the printer is ready again.
+ By defining CONSOLE_LP_STRICT to 0 (at your own risk) you

If unsure, say N.
