There a similiar problem poped up. I'm not sure if it is fixed or not. Additionally you may read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt as a starter. I don't think that the lpd will work, besides that he is started "successfully". Cause without the device, there is no way accessing it, if lpd tries. Therefore you have to create the /dev/lp0 device with a char-major number of 6 (look at the thread). Or you reconfigure your lpd using another device as lp0. This is covered in the printing howto.
