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? > I switched motherboards and the new MB has no parallel port so I use a USB > to parallel converter.
