I tried adding parport_pc to /etc/modules, and rebooting.

The system came up, and I was able to bring up the New Printer dialog, and the proper printer was listed first in the list, as connected via the parallel port. I added it, and it now works.

Only one strangeness: I got some kind of error message dialog immediately after rebooting and logging in. Something to do with OAINIT, Applet failed. I did not capture the full contents. If it happens again, I'll post more details.

Thanks one and all!
