Just came across an article in FreeBSD diary, http://freebsddiary.org/plip.html
and guess what .... ?

"Adding PLIP to your kernel is as easy as adding
 the line:

     device plip0 at ppbus?

to your kernel configuration, recompiling your kernel, installing it and rebooting. 
If you do not already have parallel support in your kernel, then you
must add it."

THAT seems to be the problem - I need to compile a new kernel for PLIP
install to work.
