It's a problem of the parallel port (see the parport0 in logs), or the printer that is attached to that port (if any).

You can change the parallel port mode (epp, spp etc) from BIOS, to see if the error disappears or if you don't need the parallel port at all, you can disable it.

Perhaps you have cups running, or an application that need access to the parallel port.
