Wow, indeed enabling this allowed lp to detect my printer again!
I didn't know about this before, nor did the Gentoo printing guide
mentioned it. I am sending an email to the authors of that guide to
include a note about IEEE 1284.
Interestingly enough, my previous install, which used 2.6.16-r9 does
not have this setting set, but the config file mentions it and my
printer worked fine.
I did find info that my printer does use IEEE 1284:
