You have an Intel-PC, right???
I've comiled printing as modules.
When u have compiled it as modules u should check the order.
"parport_pc" has to be loaded _before_ "lp". Check your "/etc/modules".
Or try "modprobe parport_pc" plus "modprobe lp".
Check if u have enabled "PC-Style Parallel Port" in 2.1.101.
With 2.0.x the first parallel Port is lp1, with 2.1.x lp0 (edit
/etc/printcap)
Last not least: Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.
Hope I could help u a little,
