Is printing to the parallel port (lpt0) supported in NetBSD sparc64 - on a
Sun Ultra 5?

I tried this with OpenBSD and received the following results:

Printing to LPT0 on a Sun Ultra 5 (sparc64) - OpenBSD

Here is what I see (dmesg):
lpt0 at ebus0 addr 3043bc-3043cb, 30015c-30015d, 700000-70000f ipl 34:
polled

However when I do this..... lptest > /dev/lpt0
I get this:
ksh: cannot create /dev/lpt0: Device not configured

(Just want to be certain before I load NetBSD, since this machine must be
able to communicate with a printer)

TIA,
Todd
