Try running "modprobe lp" and see if that fixes the problem. I just
checked, and the lp module, as well as the parport module were not
being loaded. It looks like this is because of a change in
/etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules that is no longer calling
for the parport and lp modules to be loaded.
