Are you sure you had both sections as compiled into the kernel?
There is a section that asks if you want a parport (and
auto-detection) device and then later it asks what type of
lowlevel device. My guess is you selected "Y" for parport and
auto-detection and then later skipped the part about PC style
parallel port (default "M" I believe).

Okay. I combined Adrian's and Billy's info, and it works.
Strange. In kernel 2.2.14 Ihad to install as a module, even
though I told menuconfig that I wanted it as a non-module.
There are not any docs that I could see to tell me this (not in
parport.txt nor lp.c), but the same thing happened with my
sound card. It had options for module or no-module (compiled
in as regular kernel stuff), but the README for my sound card
(Neomagic 256AV) said it *HAS* to be compiled as module. When
I compiled the sound as module, it worked great. IS LP like
this from now on?
