what do you have enabled in the kernel for the parallel port ?
i would have the ones not used as a module, and load them to see if it
helps.
in particular maybe the ieee1284 transfer mode, i think that is a read
capability on it.
and i am guessing here, this method is trial and error as i dont use a
parallel port anymore.... really out dated
