IRQ cannot be probed for standard parallel port and/or ECP/EPP.

Once before parport, there is code in PLIP driver which probes IRQ for
some (old) special implementation of parallel port, but it has been
removed.

For your information mine is:
parport0: PC-style at 0x3bc, irq 7 [SPP]

Could you please check the BIOS and enable interrupt for your parallel
port? Please not that PLIP driver is interrupt driven.

Thanks,
