+Parallel Ports
+==============
+
+   As of 2.1.33, parallel port support can now by handled by the parport
+driver.  Be aware that with Plug-and-Play support turned on, your
+parallel port may no longer be where you expect it; for example, LPT1

+/dev/lp0 with the new Plug-and-Play driver.  If printing breaks with
+the new driver, try checking your lpd configuration.
