I have modified the cups package now to also load parport_pc when starting the CUPS daemon, not only lp and ppdev. This change I have committed to Debian's BZR repository for CUPS, and this is at least a workaround for the problem reported here. It shgould appear in Debian unstable and Maverick soon.
I suggest this also as an SRU for Lucid LTS. In Lucid it is perhaps too invasive to fix this problem via the kernel or udev.
