You can go into your kernel's source directory, do "make menuconfig", and go
to the "Parrellel port support" section (2.4). 2.6 is under a second menu I
think (Device Drivers or something similar). Go through and make sure
everything you want is selected.

Depending on how you do it (module or compiled in) you may have to do a "make
dep install" (2.4) / "make install" (2.6) or make modules modules_install
