OK, I'm recompiling right now with that patch (and ac3). Thanks Alan!

All the parport modules are loaded:
oto:~> lsmod
lp 4972 0 (autoclean) (unused)
parport_probe 2916 0
parport_pc 4684 1
parport 6192 1 [lp parport_probe parport_pc]
And /proc/parport/0 is there as well as devices, hardware and irq.
oto:~> cat /proc/parport/0/devices
lp
oto:~> cat /proc/parport/0/hardware
base: 0x378
irq: 7
dma: none
modes: SPP,PS2,EPP
oto:~> cat /proc/parport/0/irq
7
Here's the relevant syslogs that pop up after loading the modules:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 680C
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
And ls -l /dev/lp* is:
crw-rw---- 1 root daemon 6, 0 Apr 27 1995 lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root daemon 6, 1 Apr 27 1995 lp1
crw-rw---- 1 root daemon 6, 2 Apr 27 1995 lp2
Then I start up lpd:
Jun 9 16:44:10 oto lpd[506]: unknown printer:
Jun 9 16:44:11 oto lpd[508]: unknown printer:
No go. Attempting to print results in:
oto:~> lpq
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)

Any ideas?
