That's exactly why. :-)

The CUPS web interface (and system-config-printer, which behaves in the
same way) shows *available* devices.  The 'parallel' CUPS backend looks
for parallel ports.  If it doesn't find any, there will not be an option
for a parallel port when setting up a new queue.

The udev problem is that, for some reason, /dev/lp0 is not getting
created.

Well, that's the bug.. ;-)
