 If you use kmod, you will find it useful to edit /etc/modules.conf.
 Here is an example of the lines that need to be added:
 
-	post-install parport modprobe -k parport_pc
+	alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
 	options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto
 
 KMod will then automatically load parport_pc (with the options
 "io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto") whenever a parallel port device driver
 (such as lp) is loaded.
+
+Note that these are example lines only!  You shouldn't in general need
+to specify any options to parport_pc in order to be able to use a
+parallel port.
