When you recompiled the kernel with parport support, did you also enable the
`Support for PC-style hardware' (or something like that, the name is
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) and `Parallel printer support' (CONFIG_PRINTER) and make
sure the corresponding modules are loaded (they will if you chose kmod
support, but make sure with lsmod). This might not be your problem, but better
make sure of this before starting to dig further.
