Bug#733599: cups: Should not load parallel port modules if there are none

May I suggest that there is no bug at all here and setting LOAD_LP_MODULE=no is the intended way to achieve what Benoît wants to do.

Thanks for pointing that, indeed! (Don't hesitate to do further suggestions, I value them highly, for what is worth!)

It's a much better answer than my own, and having this in the BTS will be a valuable reference for anyone looking for the answer to this question. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
