I had the same problem on my home PC. It is do with Plug and Play BIOS not
giving the kernel the info it needs. After scouring the Printing HOWTO I
found that the following added to /etc/conf.modules did the trick:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto
See http://www.cyberelk.demon.co.uk/parport/parport.txt and
