I have an HP Deskjet hooked up to my sparc. Just make sure you have these options
selected in the kernel when compiling:
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_AX=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_LOWLEVEL_MODULE=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK=y
Then be sure to load these modules:
parport_pc
parport_ax
lp
