The more recent kernels (2.2+) come with a driver for the quickcam.
When you do you make xconfig (or whichever), select QuickCam(B+W)
under the Video4Linux category, and compile it into the kernel.
See the kernel docs (/usr/src/linux/docs/video4linux I think) for more
info.
You will obviously also need to compile in parallel port support to
plug it in.
