No offence but this has been discussed time and time again.
Normally speaking you answer is to place the following in /etc/modules.conf
or /etc/conf.modules (whichever you have).
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
Presuming you are running kerneld/kmod then upon a printing command the
module lp should be loaded automaticly.

The keyword would be parport.
