What about your USB modules? are they being loaded? how? and are you sure that the USB devices have been created? If so, do you know where? It sounds to me like the problem is that the USB drivers aren't being loaded, so even with the printer kernel module available, it doesn't know that a USB printer device exists. I've got a USB printer (HP PhotoSmart) connected, and it runs fine... I'm using a self-compiled kernel (though compiled and installed the Debian Way(TM)), and utilize usbmgr to find and load my usb devices. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matthew.weierophinney.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
