The libieee1284 seems to have problems with the devfs. If I use the devfs, it 
cannot access the parport. It seemd that the different names are the problem. 
The raw parport device is expecte to be /dev/parport0. DevFS uses different 
names like /dev/parports/0. So libieee1284 cannot find it. It also doesn't 
fall back to the classical way. Normally a devfsd should fix this, but seems 
not so.

Okay enough blames.
Try to link /dev/parports/0 to /dev/parport0.
This worked for me.

Hope for you, too.

Andre
