Try changing the lp dependency in /lib/modules/2.1.72/modules.dep
Something like:
/lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/parport_pc.o: /lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/parport.o
/lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/lp.o: /lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/parport_pc.o
							^^^^^^^^^^^^
should do it.

I suppose you have this right now:
/lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/lp.o: /lib/modules/2.1.72/misc/parport.o
							^^^^^^^^^
