Parallel port seems indeed broken (or, at least broken in early 2.6 kernels). I used cups in both cases and I don't recall that I had to do anything special. Both machines used a 2.6 kernel. It's been a long time though, and the Ultra 5 is broken now and the printer at the Blade 100 is broken (and as they are quite some distance apart, I've decided to not swap printers, unless I really need one, which hasn't occurred yet).
