Jim,
This is a fairly frequent problem. I would find an archive and search for
lpt1 and perhaps for [SOLVED] although I think a lot of people don't report
their success.
You can check that there is a 'parport' in your /etc/conf.modules. If not,
I or the archives can tell you what to put. But this was only news when 6.0
came out.
I believe my solution (under 6.0) was to simply upgrade and 6.1 took care of
the issue for me.
Some people report success fiddling their BIOS settings.
For what it's worth, I just kept an old 486 as a 5.2 print server (setting
up remote printing was kinda interesting...)
