Printer support in the new kernel has lots of possibilities:
General Setup:
<*> Parallel port support <== required
<*> PC-style hardware <== required for x86
Plug and Play Support:
<*> Auto-probe for parallel devices
Character Devices:
<*> Parallel printer support <== required
[*] Support IEEE1284 status readback <== I like this!
At boot with the above options selected I get this:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation.
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 660C
