Hi Will-

there may be several reasons why Linux cannot find your parallel port.
It would be helpful to obtain more information about your system.
Please reboot your computer, execute the following commands one by one, and
send the output to me:
dmesg
uname -a
cat /proc/devices
ls -l /dev/lp*

My guess is that your kernel does not have support for the parallel port
enabled, and is not detecting the device. But let's see that output before we
jump to conclusions...
