I have a similar problem. Restarting hotplug and enabling the printer seems to fix it too. I tried hunting it down, but got confused with udev and hotplug. The kernel version we have for amd64 appears to be udev. Udev does seem to be a replacement for hotplug, but there is still a hotplug in in

Make sure your printer is powered-on when you boot your machine. and Try /etc/init.d/hotplug restart followed by a /etc/init.d/cupsys restart I've had problems with my Epson not working right if it's not detected on boot. - Original Message - From: "thierry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:

Sounds like a kernel problem.  More specifically a driver.  See if you can narrow it down to a device.  Try disabling the usb bus and pull out a ps/2 mouse.  Does your wireless die out?  Try diabling the ndiswrapper does usb die?  The problem may be as simple as getting a wireless card that
