Thats because I am using the kernel lsusb module. The other way is to not use the kernel module and enable usb on the cups build - Ive tried both ways and neither work on 1.6.2 - the kernel module works on 1.5.4 and I seem to remember thats the reccomended choice unless you are using a manufacturers driver like the HP one. Oh, and Ive accidentally tried both together on a few upgrades and that has not worked for some time. BillK
