Mine is this:

controller      ppbus0
device          nlpt0   at ppbus?
device          plip0   at ppbus?
controller      ppc0    at isa? port ? tty irq 7 vector ppcintr
controller      ppc1    at isa? port ? tty irq 5 vector ppcintr

I added the plip0 entry to be able to attach another system to plip1
one day.  None connected, yet and plip1 is not configured by the
network code during startup.

For me this behavior never happened on my system with a Canon BJC-250.
It just works as expected even when I turn off the printer.  Maybe the
missing "tty" in your configuration for ppc0 is the difference causing
this odd behavior?
