New stuff causing problems for old stuff, as always.

The above paragraphs are the important parts.  The OKI 320/390 series
parallel port does not work with EPP and ECP parallel ports.  It
requires an old and slow "Centronics" port to function.  Most of the
current print servers default to the fastest mode (ECP) and must
therefore be slowed down.  It doesn't matter what printing protocol is
being used (HPNP, 9100, netcat, LPR/LPD, Netbios, etc), the print
server has to be slowed down to match the printer.  

Been there... Done that... works fine.
