Hi,

the error -9023 only occurs, when you have specified the wrong port
address for the driver! The default address is 0x378. If your parport uses
another address, please use
options pt drv port=xxxx
where xxxx is the correct address.
It is also useful to unplug the printer and not loading the module lp.o,
as this might also cause trouble.

To find the parport io address you might use:
cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
The result looks like:
0378-037a : parport0
037b-037f : parport0

Here the first address is 0x378 - which is the default, the second applies
to the ecp/epp modes..
