I managed to figure this out by myself, and for all you having this
problem here is the answer (that worked for me) It turns out that the
parallel ports I/O port was not defined in the GENERIC kernel config
file. All I had to do was go into my BIOS and find out the port that the
Parallel port was using and change

device	ppc0 at isa? irq 7

to

device	ppc0 at isa? port 0x3bc irq 7

I think that the port the parallel port uses is specific to your
computer, so you'll have to find yours out yourself.
