Try running "modprobe parport_pc" as root, and see if that enables

If you want to use the serial port, you will probably have to load
parport_serial as well.

Some /var/log/messages lines (scattered in log):

Dmesg:
[ 24.762672] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
[ 24.871943] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver
From the above it seems that the port on the parallel port pci card is not being detected....but windows 7 which is dual-booted on the same machine is printing through that same parallel port.
Can someone please help?
With best regards.
