Printing is running smoothly now, bugreports are out.
One problem remains:
* Upon boot, the module "parport" is loaded, used by "lp" (which is
also loaded)
* Unfortunately the printer only starts working if I "modprobe
parport_gsc" -- which entry in /etc/modutils/* is needed for this to
work automagically.
