Nope.

Nope.

As far as I know I am. I've run make menuconfig and recompiled twice
(following the installation guide instructions).

I tried getting rid of cups and foomatic and followed the directions
at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=22291 last night....the
http interface doesn't give me the parallel port as an option, leading
me to believe it's not actually compiled in either. Why it doesn't, I
don't know
