As for the autoloading, did you enable that feature when you compiled
the kernel?
What does /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) look like?
You can load all the modules for printing using "modprobe lp".
To try and print, use "dmesg > lp0" or "dmesg | lpr -P lp0".

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
