I am not using modules (never have), but my LP is also broke in
2.1.55. It works great in 2.0.30, though.
I did catch the lp1 is now lp0 gotcha, that didn't solve the
problem, though.
I also tried a patch that someone posted about here, to no avail.

I am about to boot to 2.1.56, so we shal see.
I did notice that the printer never gets polled during boot to
2.1.55, like it does when I boot to 2.0.30, if this means anything to
anyone.
