Personally I put this in /etc/fstab: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb auto user,noauto,umask=0,utf8 If I navigate to /mnt/usb with Rox and click on the folder it mounts the usb stick and shows the contents. > #3159 cups libusb permissions - dj created this on the basis that > cups now requires libusb to use USB printers.

"If you have a USB printer there is a conflict between the Cups libusb backend and the kernel driver. If you want to use Cups with libusb support do not enable USB Printer support in your kernel and remove the --disable-libusb when you configure Cups." That's what I put on the cups page. Does it need changing? FWIW my usb printer also works fine with the kernel driver.
