Device naming for parallel ports changed in kernel 2.2.x;
under 2.0.x the first port is lp1, under 2.2.x it is lp0.
Also, the parallel port driver was broken into several chunks;
if you have an Intel-based machine you will need the parport &
parport_pc ("Parallel Port Support" and "PC-style Hardware"
under General Setup) modules, as well as the lp module with maybe
printer_readback selected ("Parallel printer support" and
"Support IEEE1284 status readback" under Character Devices).
