Oops. I ASSuMEd. I checked man, -r = remove (I usually use "sudo rmmod
lp")

So 

sudo modprobe -r lp
sudo modprobe lp
dmesg

will reset, but if the EMC2 computer doesn't have a printer, I would lp
unloaded.

"
I see it in these 2 consecutive lines:
lp                      7028  0
parport                30764  3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp
"

I seem to recall in EMC2's past that ppdev, parport_pc and lp should not
be loaded, but the latest EMC2 version could live with them, so
rmmod'ing all three should be okay for testing, maybe.
