I've had a similar problem after upgrading my Mandrake 6.0 to 6.1,
posted a question some time ago but got no response. What fixed it for
me was to add the following lines at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/sbin/modprobe parport
/sbin/modprobe parport_pc
/sbin/modprobe lp
--now my printer works again, maybe that helps you as well!
bye, Willy
