This problem was addressed in another posting on the list.  Check "
printer stopped working - in 2.6.10 kernels"
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-January/msg03880.html

The solution offered was to add:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto

to the end of /etc/modprobe.conf fixed the problem (as suggested at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145151).
