parport_lowlevel will be removed soon from the kernel. It was never
intened to be used except for development. The official way to load the
parport_pc module is:

post-install parport modprobe -k parport_pc

And if you need any parameters also add, something likeA:

options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
