Any chance the parport is disabled in BIOS? I can easily imagine CUPS as 
the sort of app that would take a 'no such device' failure on opening 
the device as "didn't work, assuming busy".

Are you able to confirm that the parport drivers are working and that 
it's possible to at least open the device for access? Is the 'lp' driver 
loaded?
