It sounds like the one in FreeBSD..
It's a bus which allows you to connect different drivers to the parallel port
without them conflicting - eg lpt and ppi (which is a "geek port").
The ppi interface is pretty simple - open /dev/ppiX and do ioctl's on it to
frob bits - the Atmel AVR programming tool avrdude uses it if you want to see
some example code.
