Only that it works fine on my T23 ..

 ppc0: <ECP parallel printer port> port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77f irq 7 drq 0 on acpi0
 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
 ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
 ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0
 plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
 lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
 ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0

I notice yours is at 0x3bc, LPT2 in DOS-speak; mine's at default 0x37f

FreeBSD version?  Here 6.1-RELEASE, and still with a fairly old BIOS.
