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. -Lex
