[Bug 52596] My paralell port isn't recognized

[Mildred]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-25-686

Recently, I added in my computer a PCI card to add a paralell port to my computer in order to be able to connect my printer.
I thoudht my ubuntu dapper would be able to detect it and use it but the /dev/lp0 file does not exists. And I found the following message in dmesg :

[4294707.628000] lp: driver loaded but no devices found

Something strange is that I tried to boot with a Warty live-cd and the
port is recognized ... and I can use it that way (unfortunately, I can't
configure CUPS).

The card also provides two serial ports.
The description is aviable here : http://qtec.info/products/product.htm?artnr=12887

I tried to compile the kernel 2.6.17.3 from kernel.org using the config
file from the ubuntu kernel but I did not succeed to boot with this new
kernel, probably because I did not created any initrd image.

This is the output of lspci
