Bingo.

udev problem.

hplip really really wants the lp devices at /dev/usb/lp*, but for some
reaosn my idev doesn't have them like that... Hmm... Might have been
me playing around ages ago.

doing a quick

mkdir /dev/usb

followed by

mknod /dev/usb/lp0 c 180 0

and it all works!!! Yay!!!

Maybe that could make it into the FAQ's? I've seen lots of posts from
people who can;t get itto work, but none from people who have said how
they fixed it...
