Please read my message carefully.
I spare to copy /usr/share/doc/lpr/README.Debian here. It does not at
all address this problem.
modprobe lp solved the problem for me, thanks !
I don't want cupsys. I want lpr.
Still, it is a bug, when the update from Sarge to Etch fails at the
printing function; actually deleting the device and making it necessary
to add the module (which had been there before).
It might be your daily bread as maintainer, but it is not the usual item
to be done by the user.
AFAIK, there was none such message at the upgrade.
No, I am afraid, a work-around solution is not the resolution of a bug.
In 2007, when a user plugs a printer, we don't want to require him / her
to 'modprobe'.
