You're missing parport_sunbpp here.
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
Correct.
I have absolutely no more ideas what else to check.
Maybe you ?
# modprobe parport_sunbpp
Well, it works like this: There's a generic parport mid-layer to which
physical parport drivers can attach (and register physical ports). These
are parport_pc, parport_sunbpp, parport_atari, parport_amiga, you name
it.
On the other side, where are users of (physical) parports, 'lp' being
the one mostly used. It implements the low-level (handshake) protocol
used by computers to shift data into parport-based printers. (And there
are other useful clients, like ppdev).
So you've got the mid-layer as well as a high-level protocol driver, but
you're missing parport_sunbpp as a physical driver. Once you've loaded
that, your printer should work just fine.
