The prime suspect is USB. It's hit-and-miss right now, and then only in
the 2.3/2.4-test kernels I believe (just got USB myself and haven't tried
it yet with anything). I MAY be wrong with the last part, but not the
first.
As for lpd wating, that's what it does when it needs for the printer to
respond. No response from the printer will make it continue to wait.
