find out if the kernel is able to see your parallel port
dmesg |grep lp
if kernel was able to detect the parallel port, then there will be
lines like:
lp0: using parport0 (polling).

to find the address
cat /proc/ioports | grep parport0
which must read something like
0378-037a : parport0
whcih is the address you need i suppose.

Also, check if parallel port is enabled in your BIOS.
