Since there are two reports of the -proposed kernel having fixed this
issue I'm going to go ahead and add the verification done tags.

Bug description:
  Parallel Port not working.

  Interface Card formerly known and working in 12.04 (since May) as
  04:06.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)

  Now in 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 gives the following behaviour.
  Note that a printer is connected to the parallel port.

  syslog:
  May  3 17:58:00 ubu1304 kernel: [   13.018573] lp: driver loaded but no devices found
  May  3 17:58:00 ubu1304 kernel: [   13.021669] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver

  lspci:
  04:06.0 Communication controller: MosChip Semiconductor Technology Ltd. PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)

  lsmod:
  parport_pc             28152  0 
  ppdev                  17073  0 
  lp                     17759  0 
  parport                46345  3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc

  linux-source-3.8.0
  PCI_DEVICE_ID_NETMOS_9835 is in 
  drivers/pci/quirks.c
  drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c
  drivers/parport/parport_serial.c
  include/linux/pci_ids.h

  following the quirks-comments:
  rmmod parport_pc; modprobe parport_serial # has no effect!
  parport_serial         12903  0 
  parport_pc             28152  1 parport_serial
  ppdev                  17073  0 
  lp                     17759  0 
  parport                46345  3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc

  Also, removing (rmmod) and adding (modprobe) ppdev/lp/parport modules
  in all possible combinations did not have any effect.

  
  ls /dev/p*
  /dev/port  /dev/ppp  /dev/psaux  /dev/ptmx

  /dev/pts:
