I was checking through everything again and re-checked my lilo.conf. The entry for my default kernel (2.4.21pre4) had an error in the append line. The "noapic" switch was "napic". Correcting this and rebooting brought my printer online again fulltime rather than the sporadic way it was coming up before. The wusb11 is still screwed but the v2.6 is a loser and should be avoided by any and all. Thanks for the suggestions and help. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+W2SDwDUPEkSvRHERAjn4AJ9LW7QbgrVRYvR7G1WCLoJxpocEswCfVsy4 enXMNF/wWAR/nxTj+phe5MQ= =3eYZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
