--> daisy-chaining might also be a problem...
But assuming, that this all worked for you in with RH7.3 it should be
okay.

Okay - so there is your problem! The access rights need to be tweaked for the parallel
port device.
Check
ls -l /dev/parport*
you should have something like:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 0 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/parport0
[SNIPSNAP]
Hope this helps
