Will's addresses are correct; but I don't think the parallel port will
necessarily show up in /proc/ioports all the time. Make sure (if you
have parallel support compiled as a module) that lsmod shows the parport
module loaded. Also check for the existance of /proc/sys/dev/parport/.
Anything?

Cheers,

Alex.
