The _oldest_? The _newest_ ppdev patch for 2.2 is here:
<URL:ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/patch-2.2.17-pre10-ppdev1.gz>
It's self-contained so it should apply to just about any 2.2 kernel.

It's true that ppdev is only integrated into the 2.3/4 kernel tree,
yes. Only the 2.3 tree makes use of ECP/EPP hardware acceleration
(although the 2.2 patch will do software-driven transfers).
