HI
I found this solution. In my case it works. I come from world the Windows. I am new in linux.
i Do not know how to edit the file / etc / modules for doing that at the beginning. Can tell me how?
The solution is:

remove the lp and parport_pc modules

$ sudo rmmod lp
$ sudo rmmod parport_pc

and then reload parport_pc with the i/o address* and no irq

$ sudo /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.ko io=0x378 irq=7

then reload lp

$ sudo /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/char/lp.ko
