A KVM virtual machine is beeing set up using virt-manager, where a parallel port is to be forwarded to the host system parallel port device /dev/parport0.
It results in the following command line:

/usr/bin/kvm-spice -S -M pc-1.1 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name Digiton -uuid 117540b7-4bd8-b574-0fcc-cec1a51188e3 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/Digiton.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no-shutdown -boot c -drive file=/home/alext/sdb.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,fd=18,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:f6:63:28,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0 -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up a VM using virt-manager
2.Run it

Actual Results:  
Parallel port isn't mapped, because of the wrong parameters:

-chardev tty,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0

Expected Results:  
With the parameters:
-chardev parport,id=charparallel0,path=/dev/parport0 -device isa-parallel,chardev=charparallel0,id=parallel0 

everything works as expected.
