1*1da177e4SLinus TorvaldsThings to be done.
2*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
3*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
4*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
5*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds1. Proper documentation.
6*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
7*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds2. A better lp.c:
8*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
9*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds   a) ECP support would be nice.  This can only work if both the port and
10*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds      the printer support it.
11*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
12*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds   b) Handle status readback automatically.  IEEE1284 printers can post status
13*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds      bits when they have something to say.  We should read out and deal
14*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds      with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
15*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
16*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
17*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds
18*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
