Interesting crash here after I tried this method with my 7.2 Mandrake installation. I have an hp895Cxi inkjet printer connected to the usb port on my abit bp6 board (ru bios). When I configured the printer and ran a test print. The computer locked up (stopped responding). On reboot, the printer started printing the test page but with a lot of garbage characters throughout the output(got the same type of output during the printer installation during the mandrake 7.2 install). In addition I could not login. The graphical login screen refused to accept the password input (ie nothing typed entered the password window which usually shows asterisks when you type the password == weird!). After a long session of trying to login (linux single, console login, ... .......) I just do not remember how I finally got in to the system, but I did and deleted the print queue, deleted the files in the spooler, shutdown cupsd, reconfigured the boot to not start cups and it'll be a long time before I try that one again. The printer setup and the usb work just fine with win98se. Also usbview shows the usb setup with the printer attached both in redhat 7.0 and mandrake 7.2. I think that for now I will use samba to run the printer off a windows box than to suffer through another ordeal with mandrake and cups. Great idea cups, but it does have a few serious defects, yet.
