Yep, you've got it on your parallel port. As root, do an 'lsmod', and
see if a module named "parport" and/or a "parport_pc" are present -- if
not, it means that your parallel port isn't being picked up. Executing a
"modprobe parport parport_pc" should activate them -- if no errors
occur, place each of these modules in your /etc/modules file so they're
present at boot.
If this still doesn't work, what messages do you get when you print?
