Since machine control over parport and printing on parport are mutually incompatible, the EMC2 package disables parport printing using the file /etc/modprobe.d/emc2. Printing over USB is not affected. If you prefer to have parport printing (say you have a servo motion control card that doesn't use parport), you can comment out the line in that file. EMC2 will work fine except the hal_parport module will refuse to load.
