/* Parallel port registers: data (0x3bc, 0x378, 0x278), status=data+1, control=data+2 */
/* Parallel port status register (read only):
bit 7: NBSY (1: ready, 0: busy or error or off-line)
bit 6: NACK (if NBSY=1, then 1; if NBSY=0 then 1: sending data, 0: ready with data)
bit 5: PAP (1: out-of-paper)
bit 4: OFON (1: on-line)
bit 3: NFEH (1: OK, 0: printer error)
bits 2-0: 07
On out-of-paper: PAP=1, OFON=0, NFEH=1.
"When reading the busy status, read twice in a row and use the value
obtained from the second read. This improves the reliability on some
parallel ports when the busy line may not be connected and is floating."
"On some Okidata printers when the busy signal switches from high to low,
the printer sends a 50 ns glitch on the paper out signal line. Before
declaring a paper out condition, check the status again."

/* Parallel port control register (read/write):
bit 4: IRQ (1: we want an interrupt when NACK goes from 1 to 0)
bit 3: DSL (1: activate printer)
bit 2: NINI (0: initialise printer)
bit 1: ALF (1: printer performs automatic linefeed after each line)

/* Parallel port timing:
1. wait for NBSY=1
2. outb(data byte, data port)
3. wait for at least 0.5us
4. read control port, OR with STR=0x1, output to control port - purpose:
generate strobe pulse; this will make the busy line go high
5. wait for at least 0.5us
6. read control port, AND with !STR, output to control port
7. wait for at least 0.5us
8. in a loop: read status register until NACK bit is 0 or NBSY=1
(the printer will keep NACK=0 for at least 0.5us, then NACK=NBSY=1).
