[LI] Missing module

["Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe" <sam_buddhe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

Here's what happened when I tried to give the following command: 
echo "hello world" > /dev/lp0 

The system gave an error, "/dev/lp0: device not found" 

Also the /var/log/messages file contained the following lines:
Nov 23 10:14:38 localhost modprobe: can't locate module 
parport_lowlevel
Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost modprobe: can't locate module 
parport_lowlevel
Nov 23 10:14:39 localhost kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices 
found 

This seems to be the reason why my printer is not autodetected by 
printtool. 

Please help!!!
I am using kernel 2.2 with RHL6.1 ... I found the following files in the 
/lib/modules/kernel-2.2.12-2/misc/ directory:
parport.o
parport_pc.o
parport_probe.o
The kernel rpm's are alright, which I verified using "rpm-V"
