you dont set irq's in plip since plip is not a hardware driver.

Instead try this in /etc/modutils/parport:

    options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=auto
or
    options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3  # ECP mode

followed by update-modules. Basically the settings here should be the
same as in the BIOS.
