Hi.  The "PCSPP" message indicates to me that your parallel port is not set
to be bidirectional.  In your BIOS setup, try changing it to ECP if possible,
or to BPP or PS/2 if ECP is not possible.  In any case, don't set it to EPP.
If you can't change this setting, you can try using the "usenibble=1" option
when you insmod "ieee12844pp.o", as documented in the INSTALL file.
