Perhaps
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.3/0113.html
will help you.
I ran into that problem too. Another symptom was that tcpdump's of the
network interfaces would only should *outgoing* traffic. They could
talk, but not listen. Kernel 2.4.17 was OK in that respect.
The patch worked for me - but none of the patched machines use their
parport for anything else, so I cannot vouch for how a printer would
react.
IIRC it should be fixed in 2.4.19.
