I fixed the problem by setting the parallel port in the BIOS from ECP to
SPP. Then the driver does software handshaking and my old printer works
OK. So this is a problem with documentation. I just emailed the
authors of the kernel docs on the parallel port and told them about this
fix. So you could close this bug if you want to, although it would be
nice if somehow the software configured it all.
