/sbin/insmod is the proper PATH (not insmod alone)
and
/sbin/insmod parport returned:
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/parport.o: a module named parport already
exists
also,
/sbin/insmod parport_pc returned the similar like above
also,
/sbin/insmod lp returned nothing.

Well, by 're-installing the printer' I mean the following:
- I use the printtool to Delete the selected printer,
- I do complete re-boot the computer to be sure there is no way for
deleted printer to remain further,
- I use the printtool to Add a new printer.
