I added:
controller ppc0 at isa? port? tty irq 7

on my configuration last night (after a more thorough inspection) and it
worked fine.  What is the purpose of this versus nlpt (which is now also
found)?  On my PII machine with a AL440LX motherboard, I don't need this
line and everything is found just fine.

The real bummer for me is that I have a Lexmark 5700 printer, which has a
proprietary command set and will not work under FreeBSD (without more work
than it is worth).  I may have to pull out my old HP600C and get it working
again.
