It's been a while since I played with parallel ports on Linux, but it

http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php tells you how to use their yum

Funny enough, my hardware manufacturer just got back with me and gave me
a zip file with the lp.ko file in it.
One advantage of the elrepo-provided driver is that the kmod package is
kABI-tracking and thus the driver module(s) will work seamlessly across
kernel updates, rather than being kernel-specific and requiring a
recompile against all new kernel updates.
The elrepo lp driver is built from the RHEL6 driver code that simply
wasn't enabled in the RHEL6 kernel.
