[Gllug] Parallel Port Detection

[t.clarke]

I am using a bog-standard Redhat 7.1 kernel, which is presumably compiled with
everything as modules.

Periodically whenever I print anything via 'lp' the console produces a message
along the lines of "detecting serial ports / detecting parallel ports ..'

Am I correct in assuming that some daemon is unloading the parallel driver
module after a period of inactivity, and then it gets loaded again when lp
is invoked with the resultant detection messages ?

If so, what is easiest way of stopping the module from being unloaded, short
of recompiling the kernel from source ?


Thanks

Tim
