Yes. I'm working on a parport driver for the sparc parallel port as I have
time, but in the meantime, you can make the existing parallel port driver
work well enough to print from. Just edit drivers/sbus/char/bpp.c in your
kernel source tree, find the bpp_regs structure, and add __volatile__ to
each element in it, then recompile (enabling it or building it as a
module) and it should work.
