I'm running the 2.4.27 kernel. Module printer.o is installed
automatically on startup with modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
Should I remove this module from autoload?
I have hpoj, libusb, cups and xsane installed.
/etc/cups/printers.conf is totally empty (however the printer works).
Do I need to add the info above to this file, or is the necessary
configuration file elsewhere?
As the printer is working as a printer, I am assuming that hpoj is
correctly emerged. I don't have usb as a use flag in make.conf, but it
is probably part of the package. If the other steps above don't work, I
can try remerging hpoj with the usb USE flag manually set.
Thanks
Jeff
