Also try comp.os.linux.hardware.

BIOS

----
278/irq5
378/irq7
EPP 1.9

.config ------- CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y CONFIG_PNP=y CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PRINTER=y CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK=y

kernal boot params ------------------ append="parport=0x378,7 parport=0x278,5"

options for /etc/rc.d/rc.local ------------------------------ # abort on error, careful error check, trust IRQ. # see tunelp(8) & /usr/src/linux/drivers/misc/lp.c

/usr/sbin/tunelp /dev/lp0 -a on -o on -T on /usr/sbin/tunelp /dev/lp1 -a on -o on -T on

looks like this (lp1 was powered down at boot time)
