Whatever you have, it doesn't match the description in the Amazon link you sent (a single parallel port incorporating an OX16PI952 chip). The OX16PI954 chip reported by lspci supports 4 uarts and a parallel port. see http://snebulos.mit.edu/projects/voila/docs/datasheets/Oxford_QuadUART.pdf , which says "The OX16PCI954 is a single chip solution for PCI-based serial and parallel expansion add-in cards. It is a dual function PCI device, where function 0 offers four ultra-high performance OX16C950 UARTs, and function 1 is configurable to offer either an 8 bit Local Bus or a bidirectional parallel port" I don't have a clue why the parallel port doesn't show up automagically. Perhaps it's that last bit about configuring function 1 that's at issue, but that's pure speculation on my part.
