Parallel port on usb only computers

[Alan Bromborsky <brombo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running gentoo 2006.1 on a Dell inspiron E1705.  The computer has
no parallel ports.  I have a stepper motor controller that requirers a
parallel port.  I attached a belkin F5U002 usb to parallel adaptor
(USS720 chip) to the computer.  When I  boot  with the adaptor attached 
/dev/usb/lp0 is created.  I recompiled the kernal with modules parport,
parport_pc,usblp,ppdev, and uss720 installed
(module names added to appropriate file in /etc/modules.autoload.d) and
rebooted.  No entry /dev/parport0 or /dev/par0 was created when the usb
to parallel adaptor was attached before booting.  Do you have any idea
what I am doing wrong?
