I suspect that in your usb subsystem you've enabled something as a module and everything that depends on that can only be enabled as a module. CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y works for me. I don't understand the note in the book. If the cups usb backend causes problems it seems to me that the correct response is to configure cups with --disable-libusb Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
