2.2.0pre5: parport as module

Hi-

I think I've seen similar reports to this on the list before, but I
never noticed any resolution to it. Anyway, my problem is that my
printing works fine if I compile the parallel port support into the
kernel, but not if I compile it as a module (parport.o + parport_pc.o).
When I compile it as a module, the module autoloads when necessary, but
lpq still reports that the printer is offline. It's definitely one of
these modules causing it, as I have lp.o as a module in both cases.
Anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks.
