1*4882a593SmuzhiyunThings to be done.
2*4882a593Smuzhiyun
3*4882a593Smuzhiyun0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
4*4882a593Smuzhiyun
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun1. Proper documentation.
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun2. A better lp.c:
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun   a) ECP support would be nice.  This can only work if both the port and
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun      the printer support it.
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun   b) Handle status readback automatically.  IEEE1284 printers can post status
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun      bits when they have something to say.  We should read out and deal
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun      with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
