It works!!

I booted with "linux parport=0x378" (parport/lp built into kernel) and it
works. lp reports that it's going to poll and it prints happily.

I have tested it with every setting in my BIOS and it works with any of
them. I am building a kernel with parport/lp as modules now and will let
you know if it works then.

Thanks for the help and everybody with printer problems remove those 7's
from your parport lines.
