My very uninformed guess is this is perhaps the Linux Plug-N-Play system 
looking for a printer on the port every couple of seconds?

Is may prove useful to disable PnP (or at least the ISA stuff?) in the kernel 
options, or perhaps even try to remove it in the lp kernel code itself?

As I say, purely hypothesis! :)

Gavin.
