It does:

SuperIO: Found NS87560 Legacy I/O device at 0000:00:0e.1 (IRQ 19)
SuperIO: Serial port 1 at 0x3f8
SuperIO: Serial port 2 at 0x2f8
SuperIO: Parallel port at 0x378
SuperIO: Floppy controller at 0x3f0
SuperIO: ACPI at 0x7e0
SuperIO: USB regulator enabled
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 5 [PCSPP]
...
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

and CUPS just successfully printed a test page. :) I guess this should 
be documented somewhere. What about a Wiki page about current problems? 
I am happy to provide content about the parport issue and document my 
ALSA experiments, just don't know where to put it.
