I had the same problem once and to solve it permanently I had to recompile my kernel to add support for the parallel port.
A workaround was to add

Code:

append = "parport=0x378,7"

in my lilo.conf. I guess that is a similar option for grub if you use that boot loader.

I'm having the same problem. Have either of these solutions worked for anyone else?
