These are parport_pc, parport_sunbpp, parport_atari, parport_amiga, you name it. On the other side, where are users of (physical) parports, 'lp' being the one mostly used. It implements the low-level (handshake) protocol used by computers to shift data into parport-based printers. (And there are other useful clients, like ppdev). So you've got the mid-layer as well as a high-level protocol driver, but you're missing parport_sunbpp as a physical driver. Once you've loaded that, your printer should work just fine.
