The kernel is getting a little confused by the device, because it
thinks it's actually multiple devices daisy-chained together (which of
course it isn't!). Probably harmless.

This is indicating that something is trying to use /dev/parport0.
What would that be? That might be affecting things adversely.

And this is indicating that you're trying to print something as well!
Stop it! Clear out the print queue, perhaps..

It isn't that it's actively _found_ a printer, but the printer driver
assumes a printer is there to talk to (it _is_ a printer port, after
all). So long as you don't try printing, it's harmless.
