Hey this is the solution ...
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport_pc.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport_probe.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/lp.o
and then add this line to /etc/lilo.conf
append="parport=0x3bc parport=0x378,7 parport=0x278,auto lp=parport0
lp=parport1 lp=parport2"
