i had this problem too, *I* attributed it to the driver, when i used
acceleratedX it worked fine, but when i used XF86 (on certain versions) it
did not, i just didn't ctrl-alt-f2 anymore :) if i needed to go to the
console i'd kill xdm and exit out of X. Try upgrading the X driver, XF
3.3.6 is out now, it might help..but it might not.

is the driver already loaded? if not the hardware might not be configured
in a way that the module can locate it. i always compile the parallel
printer support directly into the kernel. i only use modules for
sound/vmware/bttv/lm_sensors/ipmasq/ppp compression.

its not a problem with the printer(yet) its for sure a driver problem
with the parallel port itself. If you have a modern PC with onboard
parallel, if you havent already i'd HIGHLY reccomend hard setting the lpt
port in the bios to an address and not use "PnP" for it.
