You need to do modprobe parmod.
I do not understand why the lines suggested inserted into conf.modules does
not work. But to get you started, just type "modprobe parmod" as root.

Kind Regards Jesper.

Before loading the pt_drv module, you have
to load the parport module!

modprobe parport

This should help.
