It isn't strictly true that the above trick will force a printer reset. I
think with 2.0 kernels it may have worked, but with 2.2.1 you might have
more luck with:
insmod lp reset=1
It was made into optional behaviour when people started complaining about
their printers having to do complicated initialisation sequences for no
apparent reason when they loaded lp.
