Does this do the same thing as:

insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
insmod lp
lpd


Your script contains 27 characters where this contains 21 characters
if you count spaces.  If they both do the same, what is the advantage of 
yours?  

I will attempt to understand all these helpful instructions about printing 
over the next four days.  Thanks to everyone.
