I had a similar problem. Some more details:
Onboard parport on a Abit KT7a with VIA KT133a chipset.
CUPS or lpr did not print on 2.6-* and some 2.5.* but with 2.4.21. Printer is a HP DJ520.
My solution to this problem was to change a BIOS setting: "ECP parallel port mode" from 1.9 to 1.7. No problems anymore.
Sorry, but that option is not available in my bios setup. Besides, fixing the problem is usually better than a workaround.
Motherboard: Tyan MPX (S2466-4M) with latest bios.
Chipset: AMD 760MPX, 762, 768, Winbond 83627
Software: Slackware 9.0 with some updates.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Thanks,
Russ
