Thanks for the tip, but no luck. I can't access.

Uh :( I also had this problem some time ago (when cups worked). I was unable
to solve it under NetBSD. Though I saw this behavior in FreeBSD (not showing
the lpt in the configuration); booting the system with the printer up made
it detect the parallel port. (this trick does not work in netbsd).

Well, I think I'll go with lpd+apsfilter+ghostscript+hpijs and see if it
works fine.

Yes :p But as I said, it worked before. Something got broken in some update,
I guess.
