Yes, but remember not to use the old printer.device with the new
parallel.device, or else!

Something like that. What you really need to do is open the parallel device,
and issue a PDCMD_SETPARAMS command, telling it that the fast mode is to
be the default in the future. Then unless whoever opens the device specifies
otherwise, the default mode will me the fast mode until the device driver
gets flushed out of memory.
