The quick way is to unload the lp, parport_pc, and parport kernel modules. In 
an ideal world, the EMC driver should be registering it's use of the parallel 
port before the printer driver can claim it. However, to get over the fact 
that EMC is hardly ever loaded at boot time, the original authors skipped the 
registration process.
