Ok, just want to re verify that you enabled parallel *printer* support,
they are different options in kernel config, the one im talking about is
in the character devices menu. What do you get when you cat /proc/devices
?(this is part of the 2.2 kernel config dont think this particular option
is part of the 2.0 config). Also you should have the PC style hardware
option turned on.(I have it at least)
mine:
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyS
5 cua
6 lp
7 vcs
10 misc
14 sound
21 sg
81 video_capture
89 i2c
119 vmnet
128 ptm
136 pts
Block devices:
2 fd
7 loop
8 sd
11 sr
43 nbd
you could also have a look at /proc/parport
mine:
[root@aphro /proc/parport/0] cat *
lp
base: 0x378
irq: none
dma: none
modes: SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2
none

sounds like a driver problem to me. the system seems unable to talk to the
lpt port. i believe you need to resolve this basic stuff before moving
onto troubleshooting the spooler. BUT i could be wrong im no expert. a
message like that for sure leads me to think that it is a driver issue at
this point.
