I just setup a usb printer over the weekend.

Make sure your kernel is compiled for it.
Here is a snip from the kernel config file ->
# USB Stuff
device          usb
device          uhci
device          ulpt

Depending on your usb chipset you may have to change uhci to ohci.

At first I tried a combo of apsfilter and LPRng, but it wasn't giving me 
any love.
I started using CUPS today, and Im getting good results so far with an 
HP DeskJet 640C.
I just need to get windows to print to it and Im golden...

Good Luck...
