I am trying to blacklist usblp so that my usb printer will function.
I have created the file: /etc/modprobe.d/.conf
with the following contents:
blacklist usblp
The module usblp continues to load at boot. What am I missing in this process?
Thanks

Using only blacklist let the module be loaded when it's needed by another module though.
Use
install usblp /bin/false
instead

install usblp /bin/false
I did try that as well with the same results

# mv /etc/modprobe.d/.conf /etc/modprobe.de/blacklist.conf
OR
Write it into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

I followed the wiki and named the file .conf, however that did not seem to work. It works when I renamed the file modprobe.conf.
Thanks for the help

man modprobe.d:
All files underneath the /etc/modprobe.d directory which end with the .conf extension specify those options as required. (the /etc/modprobe.conf file can also be used if it exists, but that will be removed in a future version)
.conf is just the extension that is required for files under /etc/modprobe.d/
You can also see that modprobe.conf will be removed in the future.

If you got incorrect information from the wiki, correct it.
