It's not possible to autodetect if a printer is attached to the parallel port without this step. This is generally harmless, so it's hard to argue against this behaviour being the default, but it's certainly true that parallel port use is a rarity for many people nowadays. I would suggest blacklisting them in /etc/modprobe.d: cat <<EOF > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-lp blacklist lp blacklist ppdev blacklist parport_pc and see if this helps. If not, I would suggest just commenting out the loading in /etc/init.d/cups. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
