Can you paste the printer related config of your smb.conf into 
this email?

I have the exact same message. This does mean that you are using the 
correct LPT port Settings. (See the ECP/EPP reference in that message)
That is the identical output that I show. And that on my old
Pentium-233 does offer these options. Even the EPP1.9 feature.

The port is allready configured properly (from your dmesg). I have 
no other real advise. You may want to get someone to confirm the
printcap info in configured correctly.

I am going to also forward this to the FreeBSD-questions list again.
Maybee someone else can fix this for you.
