Not really. It *could* be that his parallel port is broken (if nothing is
connected there), but IRQ7 is also an "error interrupt", and the APICs will
signal it when they notice something amiss.
I have yet to seen a machine that does not issue one of those a little bit
after bootup. They do this just once, though.
