Yes, usblp is already loaded. But anyway CUPS needs lp (and so
parport) to be loaded, so that's when my system hangs up.
I tried to disable loading of lp and ppdev modules editing
/etc/init.d/cups but I can't print correctly, I got an error about
problems creating a foomatic filter from the KDE printer assistant.
I believe that this is because of the unloaded lp module.
Any idea?
