    The problem is quite easy, you have the "lp" module loaded so PLIP CANNOT
    get loaded.

    How can you load plip if lp is loaded, ?? i am have seen from what you have
    written that your problem lies in /etc/conf.modules.

    Exachtly, lp is loaded so modprobe plip WILL say that.

    Its your configuration whcih is at fault.
