(Get the code!)
Till, the parport_pc module already has modaliases and is supposed to be auto-loaded. Adding it to cups' init.d script is the worst of all possible solutions, I'm afraid:
* It's not inherently related to cups
* It loads the parport_pc module for everyone, unconditionally, thus wasting resources for the 99% of people who don't need it
* It's done in the slowest possible manner.
If we want all systems to load parport_pc by default (which we don't), then it should be built into the kernel or added to /etc/modules. But it really should just autoload.
