Hmm, what kind of motherboard/serial card do you have (does it really only
have a 16450 on it?) and what kind of printer is this?

Yeah, you need to add 0x3f8 to $_ports, and probably 4 to $_irqpassing
assuming it is on the standard COM1 port.  That should accomplish the
direct access to com1.  Remember to remove anything from "$_com1" that
you put in there.
