I had that enabled; I had (and have) ALL parallel port options
enabled, even the Plug&Pray probing.
I am happy to report though that 2.1.56 gave me lp back. It still
doesn't get polled at bootup, so I am willing to accept this as a feature,
but it happily prints now, where it wouldn't with 2.1.55 with the exact
same kernel options enabled. =-)
BTW, I just used the 2.1.55 -> 56 patch file, and not a full
source tree.
