No, I don't.  I have almost the same configuration as Zach:

controller      ppbus0                          # ppbus stuff
controller      vpo0            at ppbus0       # Iomega ZIP support
device          nlpt0           at ppbus0       # printer support 
device          ppi0            at ppbus0       # ppbus interface
#device         plip0           at ppbus0       # PLIP support
controller      ppc0    at isa? port? irq 7 vector ppcintr
