Parallel port on Dell Latitude

[Jim Roland]

I am trying to configure a printer port on my Dell Latitude CPi R400 (newer
P2-400s).  I assume it's the standard LPT port at 0x378 and irq 7.  Howver,
compiling kernel 2.2.14 with parallel port support installed as with my
home PC (which works), lpd and printtool do not recognize /dev/lp0 or
/dev/lp1.

IS there a special trick to making it work on this machine?
