Cups doesn't recognize parallel port

I'm running Debian 3.1 and kernel 2.6.10 on an DEC Alpha SX164 with
an HP Officejet 720 attached to the parallel port.

The following is from my /var/log/dmesg:
parport0: PC-style at 0x3bc [PCSPP]
parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet Series 700
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
lp0: using parport0 (polling).

When I run "lpinfo -v" I receive no output. When I use "http://localhost:631", it
doesn't show my parallel port, and when I run "/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel",
I receive a Segmentation fault.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?

Jim
