Hmmm. I see the following in /etc/modules.conf :
# For parallel port devices, uncomment the following two lines and
# change "frpw" to the protocol type you use
########################################################################
# post-install paride insmod frpw
# pre-remove paride rmmod frpw
I am very scare to mess with any of this.
