Apologies for the follow-up, but I was able to get to the system messages 
file.  There's a few key points.  First, the printer is recognized during 
init:

Jan 14 21:21:35 localhost kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
Jan 14 21:21:35 localhost kernel: parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP 
LaserJet 1200
Jan 14 21:21:35 localhost kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling).
Jan 14 21:21:35 localhost kernel: lp0: console ready

During the install, after the CD is inserted, things get really ugly:
