usb printer

Good news - may have found your problem

Bad news - you need a kernel recompile

Using make xconfig there is an option under usb devices for usb printer
support. On my 1.9.0 box with kernel 2.4.2 this option is not checked so
no support.

A quick test would be to look in /boot/config-2.4.x to see if you have
something like CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y or m. I don't have any usb_printer
entry in my /boot/config-2.4.2.

You could use xadminmenu and do the reconfig if your not comfortable
with 'rolling your own'.

Hope this helps.
