There are several lpt.c patches/replacements available.  You might
start with Eric Haug's  lpt.driver.patch available on
agate.berkeley.edu in pub/386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unofficial.  This includes
instructions for installing the driver.  There is also an lp.c
replacement which does not use interrupts and is said to be faster.
