It sounds like you've recompiled your kernel at some stage, since you
don't have all of the modules compiled for you (like in the generic
debian kernel).
Not to worry.
Recompile your kernel, choosing parport and lp as modules. Don't forget
to make modules and make modules_install after building the kernel.
You probably don't even have to compile the kernel, just do the make
modules etc. after running make [x|menu]config and selecting the
required modules. Lastly, run 'depmod -a' and then 'insmod lp' should
work.
