Well it will be parallel:/dev/lp0 but you shouldn't actually
*need* to enter that if it is a local parport printer. On
the second page of the installation process it asks you for
the device - you should select 'Parallel Port #1' in your
case and you'll never be prompted about a device uri. That
only applies to adding remote printers, whether through ipp,
http, lpd or samba. At the end of the installation though it
will tell you what the device uri is if you follow the link
to your newly-installed printer.
To get more device drivers for more printers, install the
packages cupsomatic-ppd and cupsys-driver-gimpprint, then
restart your cups server - '/etc/init.d/cupsys restart'
