no lp devices found?!

LPT1 normally uses 7.  That can cause a problem with Soundblaster
setups, because the default configuration for the soundblaster IRQ is also
7.  (That is, SBC_IRQ is set to 7 in /drivers/sound/Config.in.)
One has to compile a custom kernel to get SBC_IRQ=5 (which is actually
the default on Soundblaster boards).

Hope that helps.
