Yes, I am using cdrecord 1.6 to  write CD-RWs on the HP7200e connected
to the parallel port. The name "paride" of the Kernel drivers suggests
that theses parallel port things are sort of IDE devices.

But cdrecord treats it  as a sort  of SCSI device  (it is necessary to
make patch to cdrecord 1.6 and use the scsi-linux-pg.c from the paride
website instead of the scsi-linux-sg.c which comes with cdrecord).
