It would help to know if the printer driver is a module or not. If it
_is_ a module you need to put an options line in /etc/conf.modules like
this:
options lp io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,5
..with appropriate values, of course.
If the printer driver is compiled into your kernel, you'll have put
something similar on the kernel command line (lp=0xBBB base address of
your printer's parallel port).
This whole thing isn't an issue in 2.2, incidentally.
