Hi,

very interesting question! I've never crosschecked the driver on a sparc...
But if there is a parallel-port, I mean a PC-style parport and you know the
base I/O address, then I'd say - yes it may work...
About the unresolved symbols I think you might have to check the
kernel-sources here, maybe some floating point stuff is missing...

Hope this helps a bit
  Gerhard
