fuser -v /dev/lp0 or lp1 doesn't report anything which means that nobody
uses that device.

lp.o is never loaded as a module. In fact, when IOMEGA Parallelo Port
ZIP drive SCSI driver is compiled as a module, I have to load first
/lib/modules/2.0.33/scsi/scsi_mod.o (from the SCSI-HOWTO), because if
don't I get this error messages:
/lib/modules/2.0.33/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
scsi_unregister_module_Rd913b8f0
/lib/modules/2.0.33/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol
scsi_register_module_R8eff1010
/lib/modules/2.0.33/scsi/ppa.o: unresolved symbol scsi_register_Ref7ceea8
Compiling the driver in the kernel, avoids loading of scsi_mod.o and you
can directly load ppa.o.

Yes, I turned them on and I've also tried adding the above alias to
conf.modules and still the "busy" message is reported.
