I can confirm this bug. I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and have a HP Deskjet 720 C on my parallel port. It worked fine before the upgrade. After the upgrade, when I tried to print I got this message: 'Printer may not be connected' (in Dutch). I removed the printer and tried to reïnstall, but it seems not to see the printer.

Here is my output:
