Hey there - I think I can help you w/ most of these things, but let's
try to tackle one at a time, eh? :)
First off - with the USB printer, is your printer being recognized by
the USB subsystem? This would probably require you inserting the
'printer' module - something like this should do the trick:
# /sbin/modprobe printer
To see if that recognized your printer, try this (right after the above)
# tail /var/log/messages
and see if it says anything about your printer, e.g. that it was bound
to something like usblp0
Right back!
