First get the right kernel modules set up - you need parport.o, parport_pc.o and lp.o. I had to add a line to /etc/modutils/arch/i386:
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
and then run update-modules.
For some reason CUPS had a problem with PAM so I couldn't connect as root so I couldn't add any printers. I think it's because I have something configured to not allow root to login remotely. Not sure how to change that.
I tried lprng with apsfilter and they seem to work great. I think that you need to restart lpd after you're done running apsfilterconfig:
# /etc/init.d/lprng restart
I have an old Epson Stylus Photo which seems to work fine with the "uniprint" drivers.
