K7Vta3 - V.6- falsy fun-stuff at printer-port

Just to post this
funstuff with the printer-Port

Printerport is not electrical neutral, when power is switched off, but
has a short-circuit with some status-pin.

result:
My autoswitch gets a Paper-out-signal from the power-off-pc, and
thereof will not connect the working pc to the printer.
Unplug the K7VTA3 works immidialtly.

as this comes from the EU, it should not have the european CE-sign for
safety-approval, right?
