You don't.
The way it works is like this:
access /dev/lp0
kmod triggers 'modprobe lp'
lp depends on parport
modprobe parport
modprobe lp
when lp initialises it asks parport for a port
parport triggers 'modprobe parport_lowlevel'
modprobe sees 'alias parport_lowlevel xxx'
modprobe xxx
all set
If you don't have kmod but are using modules, you can put something
like 'above parport parport_pc' (is that the right syntax?) in
modules.conf.
If you aren't using modules, it should just work.
