Are you using a PCI modem?  If so, it IS your ECP printer, I believe.  PCI
devices oftentimes share IRQs and, even though it'll show you (in device
mgr) that it's using a certain IRQ, it'll share another with another device
when necessary (like when it's printing!)  Get another (parallel-ported)
printer and your problem will be no longer.  By the way, what's the cable
modem problem???
