I did. I switched to modules at the recommendation of another poster.

It helped. I can now print, *if* I manually load lp and parport. What
I'm still trying to understand is (a) why it didn't work with lp/parport
hard-compiled in, and (b) why the modules aren't automatically loaded
when lpr writes to /dev/lp0.
