11da177e4SLinus TorvaldsThings to be done.
21da177e4SLinus Torvalds
31da177e4SLinus Torvalds0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
41da177e4SLinus Torvalds
51da177e4SLinus Torvalds1. Proper documentation.
61da177e4SLinus Torvalds
71da177e4SLinus Torvalds2. A better lp.c:
81da177e4SLinus Torvalds
91da177e4SLinus Torvalds   a) ECP support would be nice.  This can only work if both the port and
101da177e4SLinus Torvalds      the printer support it.
111da177e4SLinus Torvalds
121da177e4SLinus Torvalds   b) Handle status readback automatically.  IEEE1284 printers can post status
131da177e4SLinus Torvalds      bits when they have something to say.  We should read out and deal
141da177e4SLinus Torvalds      with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
151da177e4SLinus Torvalds
161da177e4SLinus Torvalds3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
171da177e4SLinus Torvalds
181da177e4SLinus Torvalds4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
