I've tried to compile them as modules as well as directly in kernel, no
success.

I have these.. doesn't work.. i also tried putting that irq-number instead
of auto, still doesn't work.
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=auto

Right now it is compiled in to the kernel and dmesg shows the following:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]
parport0: Unspecified, Unknown vendor Unknown device
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
So it SHOULD work, but it doesn't. Help anyone?
Princap looks like this:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
