Just a WAG: You do realize that parallel port numbering changed between
the 2.0.x and 2.1.x series? Earlier kernels called the port at 0x378
"lp1", regardless of whether anything existed at 0x3BC. For reasons
unknown to me, the 2.1.x kernels number the ports as they are found. So,
a single port at 0x378 would be called "lp0". I've been bitten by this
myself.
