On a newly set up Suse 10.3, some characters (perrhaps 1 in 10 or 1 in

a file straight into /dev/lp0. I suspect some conflict/problem with
IRQ's, but how to diagnose this?
TIA,

Could be a defective printer port or cable. Is there any pattern of which
characters are lost? Does the same problem occur with another OS?
