Well, I installed an F29 system and everything seems OK before and after updates.
My Cups interface looks like this when adding a printer.

But, if I remove the Parallel Port from the VM's hardware then the LPT #1 line is
absent.
This seems to be saying that for some reason your HW isn't being detected.
But I can't replicate your issue.
In my qemu-kvm VM of Fedora 29, that has not been updates in ages,
I added LPT1 (their name for lp0) and created a printer to it.
Still didn't print. And, dang!, the job showed up in the host's
CUPS. I was hoping to write around CUPS.
