Ok, here are the answers:
1-. the exact message is: "lp: Driver configured but no interfaces found."
and when I try to use the printer tool on X11 and do some test I get "Error
printing test page to queue lp. Error reason: lpr:connect:no such file or
directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon."
2-. At boottime loading lpd, and aprox. every minute on console.
3.- /dev/lp0 (lpt1: equivalent)
4.- BIOS reports Onboard Parallel port detected address: 3BC Mode: Normal IRQ:7
5.- yes I did... still without works
6.- I'm not sure... where can I get this info?
Thanks!
the weird thing is that before the last installation everything were Ok.
