If you use kmod, you will find it useful to edit /etc/modules.conf.
Here is an example of the lines that need to be added:
- post-install parport modprobe -k parport_pc
+ alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto
KMod will then automatically load parport_pc (with the options
"io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto") whenever a parallel port device driver
(such as lp) is loaded.
+Note that these are example lines only! You shouldn't in general need
+to specify any options to parport_pc in order to be able to use a
+parallel port.

Parport probe [optional]
