It means the lpadmin command couldn't find the parallel port. CUPS lists all
"devices" it can use, if you submit the "lpinfo -v" command:
lpinfo -v
lpinfo -v | grep parallel
You can also start the parallel backend with no additional arguments. Then
you should see this:
kde-bitshop:~> /usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel
direct parallel:/dev/lp0 "Unknown" "Parallel Port #1"
CUPS does the same at each startup (run all backends once with no arguments).
This provides the basis to know what device-URIs are available. If the parallel
port was not available when cupsd started, you can't install a printer on it.

Did you try "insmod printer", "lsmod | grep printer", re-start cupsd,
and try "lpinfo -v | grep parallel" again?
