A stab in the dark: Does udev know about the printer? - this identifies a new usb device to the kernel as a usb printer instead of just an unknown usb device. Do you have sane installed? - if its a multifunction device sane may have grabbed it first (for the scanner) locking the printer out. Requires some manual tuning of the udev rules if this is the case (this is required by my epson multifunction) BillK -- William Kenworthy <bi...@iinet.net.au> Home in Perth!
