I have recompiled the kernel with e parallel port setting as modules:

CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_IP22 is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y

This is my /etc/modules file now:
apm power_off=1
parport_pc
lp
parport  

but when I do an lsmod I get this:
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
parport_pc             15748   0
parport                27400   0  [parport_pc]
apm                    10796   2

lpstat -t yields:
Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": No such device

Anyone know what I have done wrong?

Thanks
