Reloading lp module


I'm running SuSE 10.0. For those times when I need to run a Windows app I use VMWare 5.5.1. VMWare uses /dev/parport0 for the printer. To get it to print I have to do rmmod lp before it will connect to the printer (this is not my problem, this works OK and is what VMWare tells you to do). However, if I want to print anything from Linux I have to reboot the box. My question is this, how do I reload the lp module so that I can print again from Linux without rebooting? Thats so Windows. I can't seem to find the right module to use with insmod. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Brad
