well as for the kernel config it looks good, here is a copy of mine

hardkrash at krusher /dev $ grep PARPORT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set
# 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_OTHER is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y

the differences are the serial and 1284 modes

also there is this one that i was originaly thinking of

hardkrash at krusher /dev $ grep PRINTER /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m

this is set under charicture devices
and under usb

and its the second one that may be giving you problems

also here is my symlink from dev

hardkrash at krusher /dev $ ll lp*
