HP Laserjet 2100 on parallel port not detected

[Richard Dmitruchina]

HP Laserjet 2100 not detected on boot. Seems to setup ok thru printer config menu, but
prints 3 pages of 1 line characters before successful HP test page. Running sudo hp-setup
returns error "no devices found" when selecting parallel port as device location.
