The URL was the culprit.  I selected the parallel port which showed the 
printer attached.  After much investigation I finally noticed the log files 
showed me attempting to attach to /dev/UnknownParallel device.  Huh??  I went 
back, deleted the printer in cups and added it again.  Sure enough it 
showed /dev/UnknownParallel as the device.  I typed over the UnknownParalel 
with /dev/lp0 but cups said that device was accessable.  I said UhOh.  I went 
to kernel rebuild and sure enough the in the Character Devices section I had 
not enabled Parallel Printer support.  That fixed it.
