I have the same problem, I think.. I never had a printer on my computer,
so I don't know if the parport is ok, the kernel is ok, or the printer
is ok.
on boot:
nbond Super-IO detection, now testing ports 3F0,370,250,4E,2E ...
Winbond chip at EFER=0x3f0 key=0x87 devid=fc devrev=3c oldid=8a
Winbond chip type 83877F
SMSC Super-IO detection, now testing Ports 2F0, 370 ...
0x278: FIFO is 16 bytes
0x278: writeIntrThreshold is 16
0x278: readIntrThreshold is 16
0x278: PWord is 8 bits
0x278: Interrupts are ISA-Pulses
0x278: ECP port cfgA=0x10 cfgB=0x7b
0x278: ECP settings irq=5 dma=3
parport0: PC-style at 0x278 (0x678) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP]
parport0: irq 5 detected
parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(98)
parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(98)
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 600
Very Cool, it sees my printer. :-)
But it doesn't show up in the interrupts list:
CPU0
0: 33354 XT-PIC timer
1: 4 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 2958 XT-PIC serial
7: 1 XT-PIC MAD16 WSS
10: 2 XT-PIC NE2000
12: 3 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 27067 XT-PIC ide0
15: 4 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0

It does in the ioports:

(why three times? I thought I had only one parport)
I have:

I also tried modules for PARPORT and PARPORT_PC
TIA for any info!
