OK, let's try it..........

'insmod parport' gives
  Using /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc/parport.o
  Using /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc/parport_pc.o

Then 'insmod lp' gives
    Using /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc/lp.o
    lp: no devices found
    insmod: init_module: lp: Device or resource busy.

I would love to, if you tell me what its name is, so I can locate it.

'find -name wp*.*' returns nothing, nada, zilch, nought and zero.

Something is obviously wrong.

Perhaps the Windows fix-all solution is needed: delete everything and
re-install it.
