Does it hang, or does the printer do anything?

How about if you comment out any options for parport_pc that you may have
in /etc/conf.modules, and make sure that there are no kernel command line
options for parallel ports? The defaults should be no irq, no dma.

They are, yes.

The 'modes:' line shows the modes that the _port_ can support; they are
not necessarily anything to do with what the printer can talk in. The
printer driver will use SPP if you have no irq and no dma (the default).
