From the looks of the listing, OP has a PCI parallel card. I do not
know if it is a single or double port card, but it looks like a
double port card. It may not show up as lp? - it may be a bit more
complicated name. (Just like USB parallel devices are USBlp?.) The
boot log will probably show what device(s).
