Careful - that's not what he said. He said that his workstation has cups and appears to have kept parallel support through an upgrade. However, he now wants to set up a separate server (new install) and he claims that it appears not to have parallel support.
Having said that I actually disagree with his claim as I made a fresh install of woody not too long ago (6 weeks I guess) and cups did have parallel printing support.
I would look into whether the 'lp' module is loaded or not. For instance, until I configured a samba client cups wouldn't allow me to install a networked printer on a windows box. If it isn't present then load it, restart cups and see what there is to see.
