[Bug 29050] Re: cupsys does not automatically detect parallel printer

[Till Kamppeter]

The problem here was that CUPS checked whether the "lp" module was
loaded, and if not, it loaded both "lp" and "ppdev". With "lp" already
loaded at CUPS startup (the usual case), CUPS did not load any module,
so "ppdev" was not loaded again.

I have modified the CUPS startup script now, that CUPS tries to load
both "lp" and "ppdev" if "LOAD_LP_MODULE=yes" in /etc/default/cupsys,
independent whether "lp" is already loaded or not. Now "lp" and "ppdev"
are always loaded when CUPS is started.

Packages for testing are here:
