Can't start printing

[Patrick <patrick@kirks.net>]

Hi all,

Trying to create a print server and failing at step one: I can't get the printer
+spotted as on the parallell port.  In fact, I don't een know if the parallell
+port is spotted.

I just can't get lp to show up.  I'm running 2.2.14 and have read some awful
+dense stuff about parports.  Before I start trying and of that, is there any
+easy way to just get the system to see the printer port?
