Hi bear,

No the issue for hpoj parallel support for sparc does not appear to be
resolved yet. But this also appears to be an upstream issue with the way hpoj
detects parallel support. Unfortunatly there isn't much upstream development
these days :-(

Earlier discussion on this issue is archived at http://bugs.debian.org/239796

On a side note you shouldn't need to use hpoj for connection of a laserjet as
hpoj is mainly concerned with the HP multi-function devices.  I would suggest
you have a look at http://linuxprinting.org.
