I assume you are using the force_addr parameter as recommended in dmesg. We know about the "command never completed" problem but don't have a fix because we don't have a datasheet. Be sure that you have a chip supported by the w83781d driver (look at your board) Don't load the parallel port drivers, they aren't helping.
