Yes. This is the case.
Currently, there is no way to let PRINTER and PLIP co-exist in the
kernel when they are compiled into the kernel. PRINTER and PLIP try
to grab all possible I/O region. Usually, PRINTER gets the region,
so PLIP can't get any.
With modules, you can do as follows:
Configuration:
PRINTER : I/O=0x378 IRQ=7
PLIP : I/O=0x3bc IRQ=5
# insmod lp.o io=0x378 irq=7
# insmod plip.o io=0x3bc irq=5
