Thanks for the hint, here's what I got out of dmesg after loading the
modules:

There's no printer connected or defined in the system that I know of (
didn't configure any) and I don't use PLIP.

Though the parport is enabled in the BIOS it doesn't show neither in the
ioports nor in the interrupts.
