I had this problem with both FreeBSD and NetBSD for the longest time. It was pretty frustrating cause I really couldn't get anyone to help me. I recently switched back to FreeBSD 1.0r, and ran into a great document that explained this to me. Basically, if you have an interrupt driven printer card, you don't want to use the lpa driver that the FreeBSD generic kernel detects. You want to change the kernel config to use the lpt driver. Once I did this, I haven't had a problem with strayintr 7's. Try it and see if it works for you. Shawn
