Here it is part of my kernel configuration file:

device          ppc0    at isa? irq 7
device          ppbus
device          lpt
#device         ppi   <-- I tried with this option switched on also

#device         vpo
#device         plip
#device         pps
#device         lpbb
#device         pcfclock


Next strings I see while my kernel loading:

ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port


Strings from /etc/rc.conf:

# Printer daemon
lpd_enable="NO"

What can you advice?
Anton
