}Is this with 1.0 or with the -current driver?  I changed the probe
}test a long time ago to only diddle one line on the control port.

The 1.0 driver.  I noticed the two masks in the code, but my printer did
not work with either.  I suspect it (my printer) responds unexpectedly to
the strobe of the initialize line.  My mask value is 0xa0, which uses only
the select and auto-linefeed controls.
