I don't know what the difference is, maybe it is the parport_pc kernel module or something like that. pcisetup will never report any error, all it does is write 0x80 to the I/O port 0x402 higher than the par port address you specify, which puts those fractured multi-IO chips on many PC motherboards into EPP mode. So, it is basically one CPU instruction, plus security overhead.

I'm not sure what you mean about the lp driver not finding any device. Do you mean it can't find the par port at 0x378? If so, check your BIOS setup screen to make sure the on-board par port is enabled, and in EPP mode.
