Done. This file was empty (should it have been?).

When I type "rmmod lp" I get "lp: no such file or directory". I tried
printing the conf.modules files (since it was short). Well, something
actually came out of the printer, but it wasn't the file. It was this:
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .setdevice
Operand stack:
--nostringval--(f
(The second and third lines were "stepped").
Also, in the boot messages it now says: "lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)" which
sounds like it should be good. A look at /var/log/messages showed this
for the print commands: "lp: Daemon filter 'f' exited (241)".
Thanks!
