Oi,

because of some recent changes in the USB subsystem CUPS didn't
autodetect USB ports and printers in the Cooker. I modified the USB
backend of CUPS a little bit, so that the autodetection works for both
the old and the new situation. So for making a USB printer working under
CUPS, do the following:

1.) Edit /etc/sysconfig/usb adding the line "PRINTER=yes".

2.) Activate USB support to be loaded automatically at boot time:

   chkconfig --add usb

3.) Start USB for the first time:

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb start

4.) Start the CUPS daemon

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups start

It is very important that the CUPS daemon is started AFTER USB has been
started.

5.) Install your USB printer with the web interface of CUPS as usual.

   Till
