I think that because of some changes in the desktop integration, you end
up with two "ospm-applet"s running. It likely that they are stepping on
each other and causing your problems. I am running OSOL_98 and able to
hotplug printers after killing off the second ospm-applet (several
times). If you remove /usr/share/gnome/autostart/ospm-applet.desktop,
and re-login, you should only have one ospm-applet. The extra autostart
file is removed in either build 99 or 100.
