Tomin: It's actually a kernel bug - if you manually turn DMA on in your BIOS then printer will work seamlessly. So there's need to be automatic kernel decision when to turn FIFO on/off (depending on your BIOS DMA option). I've filled an upstream bug here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56721
Tomin please try to turn DMA on for you parallel port and tell us if this solved your issue. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #56721 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56721 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339752 Title: CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y causes slow/stuttering printing through parallel port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/339752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
