The answer to this should be found at:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/docs/gotchas/6.1/gotchas-6.1.html
You need to add
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
to /etc/conf.modules and then run
modprobe lp
You should also do all the 'updates' which fix various problems.
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/updates/6.1/i386/
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/6.1/i386/ (mirror)
Anything listed in these directories that you have installed versions
of, should be upgraded.
