Sorry to break into this development-oriented list with my problem
using by-now ancient software, but I've read a lot of material at the
parport website today and understood a fair amount of it without
seeing the answer to my problem:
On a Red Hat 5.2 Intel system with an unmodified 2.0.36 kernel I've
installed the PARIDE devices using the mkd script in paride.txt so I
could use the SyQuest EZ-135 that shares the parallel port with my HP
LaserJet IIP. I was gratified to find that after insmodding paride,
epat and pd I could use the SyQuest. In fact, it was easier to
control the drive than under MS OSes in my experience.
Trouble is, I can no longer print: not with lpr and not catting to
/dev/lp1. This trouble happens even without the PARIDE modules
loaded; it even happens after rebooting. Each time I attempt to print
the following event is seen in any following dmesg output:
lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)
When I insmod paride, epat and pd these lines appear in a dmesg:
paride: version 1.02 installed
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
pd: pd version 1.04s, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: epat: port 0x3bc, mode 0, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)
pda: epat: port 0x3bc, mode 1, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)

Thanks, Lew
