Sarge: Sparc5 Parallel Port - no such Device

[MOSCito@gmx.li]

Hi Folks - you are my last chance !

I just netinstalled a Sparc 5 with Debian Sarge. After tweaking around with
the XF86 it's running ok now.

Except: The printer (HPLJ2100) is not working, what is bad for a print
server :-)
During my troubleshooting I figured, that the parallel port device is not
ok. It used to work earlier with Solaris.
lpadmin returned "no such device ..." for lp0.

***
IIPRT:/# echo "xxx" > /dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: No such device or address
***

Here are the facts what I have checked already :
