Joseph, I have tried what you advised and kernel says this:

[ 784.474354] parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff
[ 784.474360] parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff
[ 784.474362] parport 0x378: You gave this address, but there is probably no parallel port there!
[ 784.474382] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]

In addition I cannot print through parallel port (/dev/lp0) at all. If I type something like echo "abc" > /dev/lp0 the printer does nothing.
