| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | Things to be done. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | 0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport). |
| 4 | |
| 5 | 1. Proper documentation. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 2. A better lp.c: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | a) ECP support would be nice. This can only work if both the port and |
| 10 | the printer support it. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | b) Handle status readback automatically. IEEE1284 printers can post status |
| 13 | bits when they have something to say. We should read out and deal |
| 14 | with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | 3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp). |
| 17 | |
| 18 | 4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports). |
