Ok Tony this is my last shot
test this and put in the above like Richard has suggested you
the first thing that you need is check in, if the lp module is installed
if yes unmount it like this rmmod lp
on the right order you need to put this
alias char-major-6 plip
alias parport_lowlevel parprt_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto
and for last make this command
modprobe plip
with this any warning you can see, if everything was done like above
Here is a report from one test i made before
with kernel 2.2.13 rh6.1
/~#:lsmod
Module Size Used by
parport_probe 3012 0 (autoclean)
parport_pc 5660 1 (autoclean)
plip 9320 0 (unused)
parport 7712 1 [parport_probe parport_pc plip]
