Also, I have tried changing my lilo.conf to boot with and without devfs. No obvious change in the behaviour. I started out without devfs support. At the moment I have the support turned on. (I made this change at about 2:30 am, in sheer desperation to try to get some kind of communication with the printer. As I say, it didn't seem to change anything.) Doc PS I appreciate very much this reasonably scientific approach, rather than the "this worked for me, try it" approach, which I have found in the past to be very well-meaning but ultimately not very useful. I would really like to understand what's wrong here, otherwise I won't be learning anything. I think I am right in my original supposition that there is something awry with the USB stuff. PPS I posted something a while back about when I tried to get my Visor to sync using USB and jpilot. It worked 16 times, with the device number incrementing once each time, and then stopped working. I got sufficiently frustrated that I put it on a Windows box where, of course (and to my chagrin) it has worked perfectly for several months. FWIW, I could only get it to work at all with devfs support turned off at boot time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: Key obtainable from servers: ID 0x362912B8 iQA/AwUBPPEtJGnXrLw2KRK4EQKUUwCg2GDIXTBEpNsyNeLuEqKpZLskUSAAoJ86 fTdwPQTzd1SiBpXwUntwb4e4 =9Kh2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
