^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 1) Things to be done.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 2)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 3) 0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 4)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) 1. Proper documentation.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) 2. A better lp.c:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) a) ECP support would be nice. This can only work if both the port and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) the printer support it.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) b) Handle status readback automatically. IEEE1284 printers can post status
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) bits when they have something to say. We should read out and deal
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) 3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) 4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
