First try upgrading to 1.2.0rc1
You need root privileges since /dev/lp0 isn't accessed (just
"claimed") but rather the direct I/O ports behind it.
This means that printing goes like in real DOS, no translation at all by a
Linux printer driver.

Hmm -- the HOWTO uses old style here. You should write that as
$_ports = "device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x378 0x37f"
I'll update the howto to reflect that.
