This time, I tried to load sg, ppscsi, and onscsi with modprobe (instead
on insmod). The scanner works again, but the printer still becomes locked
once I have loaded the scanner modules, though it will still cue
jobs. (So, as expected trying to restart lpd has no effect.) Unloading
the modules (modprobe -r) has no effect on restoring the functionality of
the printer. Since using indmod and rmmod in the same manner didn't work,
I wasn't really expecting this to work, but it was worth a shot to see if
letting modprobe autoload would solve the problem of sharing the parallel
port.
After loading the other modules: (scanner functional, lp locked)
# /sbin/lsmod

BusLogic 87620 1
(The only thing that has changed is the addition of Aureal's Vortex2 sound
driver.)
Again, I'm also running the 2.2.12-20 kernel. I'm using ppscsi and onscsi
to work by using the 2.2.13-ppSCSI-19990712
