cupsys could unconditionally "modprobe lp" as it used to do.
Or it could install in /etc/modprobe.d/ a file containing something
like:
install parport_pc /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install parport_pc && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet lp; }
which is probably cleaner.
I suggest not trying to automatically edit /etc/modules.
Or you could just blame the kernel. :-)
