Oh--another thing is that since upgrading to Sarge and 2.6.8
(2.6.8-2-k7-smp), trying to print occasionally hangs the entire system.
That suggests a problem with the parallel port driver or something
closer to that later.

hardware failing.
No, I'm pretty sure it's not failing hardware: The hardware worked fine
with Woody, kernel 2.4, and the pre-CUPs printing system. And it still
works fine when I boot into Windows and print.
Besides, "random" errors are also easily due to bugs in concurrent code
(e.g., the kernel and interrupt handlers (device drivers)).

What kind of configuration? (BIOS settings? auto-detected Linux
configuration? manual Linux configurations?)
