This happened to me too. I had my printer working in 2.2.1;
I recompiled to enable my cd-writer. Since then, I lost the
use of my parport. I have all the plug n play, and pc
hardware stuff enabled, (which is how I made it work
before). But I can't get my printer back. "lp driver
loaded but no devices found." Very weird...
