I am afraid I cannot offer any help, just confirmation of your
problem.  We have the same problems with the 410 connected to an
A3000. The main problem is that the printer hangs sometimes when the
handshake gets out of sync. As the parallel.device has 'infinite
retry' this is equal to a hung machine and a reboot. Very annoying. If
you succeed in solving the problem, I would love to hear about it.
