You have to add a line to /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf) that says

	alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc

Be sure to have support compiled as modules; there must be files for (at least)
lp, parport and parport_pc in /lib/modules/.../misc.

For more information have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt.
