For some reason (I can no longer reconstruct), my Lexmark E322 USB
printer ceased to function. I've reinstalled the driver for it and
just upgraded from RH 7.2 to 7.3. 

I ran printtool and made sure the daemon has been recycled, and then I
did a plain ASCII test print. The test doc goes to the queue, but it
remains there and does not go on to the printer.

 # lpq
  Printer: Lexmark@hartford-hwp
   Queue: 1 printable job
   Server: pid 11372 active

    Status: cannot open '/dev/usb/lp0' - 'No such device', attempt 3,

  error  brownh@hartford-hwp+378   A     378 ERROR: aborting
          operations

Just to be sure, I check on the device interface:

     # ls /dev/usb/lp0 -l
     crw-rw-rw-   1 root   lp   180,  0 Apr 11 10:25 /dev/usb/lp0

Here are my USB relevant modules. On another hub I periodically
connect an external USB mass storage device without problems:

     # lsmod
     ...
     usb-uhci               24484   0  (unused)
     usb-storage            58156   0  (unused)
     usbcore                73152   0  [usb-uhci usb-storage]

When I look at my /var/log/messages, after I connect the printer I get:

     # tail -f /var/log/messages
     ...
     kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2/1, assigned
             device number 7 
     kernel: usb.c: USB device 7 (vend/prod 0x43d/0x52) is not claimed
             by any active driver.
     /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 43d/52/100


Does all this sound like a driver problem or a USB module problem?
