personally i don't know the reason or a solution, but i get this
message on dell i5000e when i try to print to my lexmark optra e310
while lpt is in interrupt-driven mode. so, to silence it, i put lpt
in polling mode by using the following script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d:

------
#!/bin/sh

echo ' putting lpt in polling mode...'

# change lpctl0 to wherever your lpt comes up
/usr/sbin/lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpctl0

echo '...done '
------

...and yes, ppc0 appears w/ irq 7...

-------
# dmesg | egrep -i 'lpt|pp[bci]|plip' | grep -v GenuineIntel

ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/7 bytes threshold
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
lpt0: switched to polled standard mode
