It seems to be a very general problem on release 0.1. I've written
(and posted here) a simple lp driver in early 0.0 times. Sorry, for
the moment i don't have this package available here. (My network entry
is far away from my home site:-( ) But if you wanna have it i could ei-
ther repost or email it.
But: i tried this driver under 0.1 and till now, one occasional reboot
already occurred. I don't have an idea what's the reason for this, in
0.0 release this didn't happen. Furthermore, this driver is in its ear-
ly stage, surely incomplete - but it seems to work.

	enjoy,
