Do you mean this package? "Programmer for Atmel AVR microcontrolers that uses PC parallel port to program the device in serial mode. The device can be programmed "in-system". It comes with a schematic of the hardware required. The hardware was designed to be efficient and unexpensive." If so, I'm not sure why you think it needs to be setuid. Just chgrp somegroup /dev/lp0 (or whichever port) and put yourself (and any others) into somegroup.
