It's an old Samsung ML-1450, connected by a USB cable. The printer, of
itself, works fine. It prints on my "mdev system".

# emerge -pv cups gives:
[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.5.2-r4 USE="X acl dbus filters jpeg

In particular, I've got usb set there. In my kernel config,
# CONFIG_USB_PRINTER is not set
, although I've tried setting it too, to no avail.
