OK, here are some suggestions, interspersed below. Although I've included
some additional detail on later matters, my guess is that your problem is
with some conflict between the lp and parport drivers, an area that is,
unfortunately, outside my expertise ... so I've only given you a tiny bit of
help, which may get you started but won't solve your problem. Sorry I can't
do better. Good luck.

Make sure the lp device is available. If you are running a kernel that is
2.0.32 or lower, check /proc/devices for an lp entry on 6. If 2.0.33 or
higher, the parport device runs lp, and I don't know the details of that
(maybe someone else does? or you may have to turn to the parport HowTo).
Can you dump a text file directly to the printer (e.g., "cat somefile >
/dev/lp0")?

My references say this isn't the standard IO port address for the first
parallel port -- it is 378. 3bc is the IO address for the oddball "zero'th"
parallel port that was once part of some video cards. On the other hand, it
*is* the right IRQ/IO port pair for /dev/lp0, so this part is okay.

/etc/printcap is a text file you can read with "more" or your preferred
editor. Look for the entry that begins with "lp" and make sure it uses
/dev/lp0, not /dev/lp1 .
