	I don't know if this is your problem, but I have seen similar
issues.
	_In my case_, CUPS as ported does not like the permissions on
/dev/lpt0*.  They default to "crw-------"; setting them to
"crw-rw-rw-" makes the parallel printer appear.
	There should be a way to tall devfs to change those permissions
automatically, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
