man insmod
man modprobe
Module HOWTO
ZIP Drive mini-HOWTO

Basically, the short version is that modprobe searches the dependencies and installs all modules needed to make the one you're "probing" work while insmod just installs that one module. You were missing the module that enabled the parallel port. I'm guessing you either don't have a connected printer or it doesn't work.
