+    lp=0 		[LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
+or  lp=port[,port...]	lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
+or  lp=reset		first parallel port).  'lp=0' disables the printer
+or  lp=auto		driver.  'lp=reset' (which can be specified in
+			addition to the ports) causes attached
+			printers to be reset.  Using
+			lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel
+			ports to associate lp devices with, starting
+			with lp0.  A port specification may be 'none'
+			to skip that lp device, or a parport name such
+			as 'parport0'.  Specifying 'lp=auto' instead
+			of a port specification list means that device
+			IDs from each port should be examined, to see
+			if an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached;
+			if so, the driver will manage that printer.
