Ok, I did this: Powered off (unplugged the CD-Writer) both devices and
disconnected the cable to boot, and turned them back on (I happened to
turn on tthe 7500 first and the computer, if that makes any difference.)
Tried insmod with verbose=2 first thing. Still get exactly those
messages.
Hmmm . . . maybe I should try it in single-user mode just in case a
started script is doing something . . . but I doubt it. I verified that
lp
was not loaded and the lp queue was empty, and no printer was attached.

I forgot to ask . . . what tells you that it's in SPP/ECP mode?
Thanks again!
