The problem is that PLIP and LP register all the I/O region.
They should handle kernel arguments (currently they don't).
Possible work around is comment out following lines in plip_init().
/* Check region before the probe */
if (check_region(PAR_DATA(dev), 3) < 0)
return -ENODEV;

I think, there is no driver for MODE1.
