ok.
#define DPRINTK mb() didn't work here either, but it does work with DEBUG
enabled.
Use the #define DPRINTK printk(...) that is allready in the file when using
DEBUG. (don't change it to mb() ).

Also, I have not tried to compile it as a module, so I don't know if that
works here.

iirc we used #CONFIG_M68K_PRINTER=Y in 2.2.x to make printing work.
When this is enabled functions from drivers/char/lp_m68k.c is used (hope I
remembered the filename correctly).
This file does not exist in 2.3.
It has got it's own init function for example. It could probably be
something in there that's needed to make printing work properly.
