Re: why insmod so active?

Eugene,

I have not seen any answers to your question, which may mean that no one
knows.

Your command is unusual:-
> /sbin/insmod -k -s /lib/modules/2.0.30/misc/lp.o lp

"insmod -k -s lp" would be the usual way of loading lp.

The actual device could be /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 so be prepared to try both
and adjust /etc/printcap if necessary.
 
Run depmod -a and try insmod again.  If the present behaviour persists I
can only suggest that you run strace on it. 

strace insmod -k -s lp
