For the record, I managed to make it work by making a copy of  g_io_unix_check 
and modifying for my needs. However, I don't know if it's "clean" code.

Here it is:
gboolean pt_8255_check    (GSource    *source)
{
  /* returns true if the /OBF line is asserted (==0) */
  return ((par_read_status(parallel_fd) & PAR_8255_RECV_MASK) == 0);
}
