   Yes, the printer works fine in Windows 95.  I have an old Epson LQ 510, also.
   I'll try hooking that up  later and see if that helps.  Though I guess
   if Linux isn't even seeing the parallel port it shouldn't matter.

   If it isn't seeing the parallel port now, why did it say it captured the 
   lp1 when I tried loading the lp module with the rescue disk?  I never
   tried printing while using the rescue disk.  Should I switch to the shell
   and try redirecting to lp1 while using the rescue disk?

You can try both of these things.  If either of them make a
difference, then it's an interesting data point that would help us
figure out what's wrong.  But I really can't think why they'd make a
difference.

Are you using the default kernel or a kernel that you compiled yourself?
