I'm afraid not. When someone writes a vpi2 for the ppscsi
architecture, what you want will be possible. It's too late now to
start adding new parameters. :-(
For your own use, you could just put something in imm_detect like
this:
for (i = 0; pb; i++, pb = pb->next) {
int modes, ppb;
if (pb->number == 1)
continue;

Because it's faster to use bidirectional mode: your hardware offers
assistance with ECP, but not with EPP (you can probably change this in
the CMOS).

Out of interest, does the HP LJ have any device ID information of its
own? Does parport report its name in the 'dmesg' output? I ask
because an IEEE 1284-compliant device should just ignore imm's
probing.
