Did you compile support for it in your kernel (I get the same dmesg and I beleive I did not compile support for parport in my kernel because I never connect anything to it)?
Do you have coldplug emerged?
Does it start during boot?

I read https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-396885-highlight-dev+par.html - but he doesnt tell where is CONFIG_PPDEV in the menus.
$ fgrep -i config_ppdev /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_PPDEV is not set
drescherjm: yes in devices/parralell port all are light up
also as you can see it is loaded, so coldplug works and it loads fine during boot |
