Hello all!

Ok, here we go. 1st, the system:
~> uname -a
FreeBSD wep4035 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Feb  7 20:25:10 CET 2009     root_at_wep4035:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOUSB  amd64

Parallel port (from dmesg):
ppc0: <Parallel port> port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77f irq 7 drq 3 on acpi0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/9 bytes threshold
ppc0: [ITHREAD]
ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0
ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP
ppbus0: Probing for PnP devices:
ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD OFFICEJET R60> PRINTER MLC,PCL,PML,SCL

plip0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: [ITHREAD]
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0

I have simplified things and do not run lpd. The command is:
'ktrace -id cat monitor_info > /dev/lpt0'
(I think it should work?)
kdump -E > ktrace.dump does not show anything interesting:

After 114 seconds I have hit Ctrl-C.

And this is from kgdb:
(kgdb) p *(struct ppb_data *)ppbus_devclass->devices[0]->softc
$1 = {class_id = 0, state = 1, error = 0, mode = 0,
  ppb_owner = 0xffffff0004668700, ppc_lock = 0xffffff0004668eb8,
  ppc_irq_res = 0xffffff0004677900}
(kgdb) p *(device_t)((struct ppb_data*)ppbus_devclass->devices[0]->softc)->ppb
_owner
$2 = {ops = 0xffffff0001520000, link = {tqe_next = 0xffffff0004668500,
    tqe_prev = 0xffffff0004668908}, devlink = {tqe_next = 0xffffff0004668500,
    tqe_prev = 0xffffff0004668918}, parent = 0xffffff0004669000, children = {
    tqh_first = 0x0, tqh_last = 0xffffff0004668730},
  driver = 0xffffffff806961c0, devclass = 0xffffff00014f4900, unit = 0,
  nameunit = 0xffffff0004666940 "lpt0", desc = 0xffffffff804fc110 "Printer",
  busy = 0, state = DS_ATTACHED, devflags = 0, flags = 7, order = 0 '\0',
  pad = 0 '\0', ivars = 0xffffff0004668800, softc = 0xffffff0004668400,
  sysctl_ctx = {tqh_first = 0xffffff0004674180,
    tqh_last = 0xffffff0004674288}, sysctl_tree = 0xffffff000467d480}
(kgdb)

The driver stays in this state even after exit of 'cat' process
(I think this was already reported):
~> cat monitor_info > /dev/lpt0
/dev/lpt0: Device busy.

I can play with the printer et. al. (ppi, maybe plip) in the evenings,
so if you need something else...

Alexey.
