yes
[root@shlomo1 solomon]# insmod printer
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/printer.o.gz
insmod: a module named printer already exists

BTW, if I try to unload it (rmmod), I get:
[root@shlomo1 solomon]# rmmod printer
printer: Device or resource busy

> Do you see the printer device in KDE's USB info page?
yes, and it's properly identified as an Epson 60. Also, if I pull the USB plug 
the printer disappears and re-appears when I plug it in again.

CUPS WWW admin tool and the KDE printer tool both allow me to start or stop 
the  printer or even to send a test page. But nothing gets printed. The only 
indications I have that there's a problem are the error messages I sent in my 
previous post. BTW - the KDE printing manager also gives me the same error 
message (Unable to open USB port device file "/dev/usb/lp0": No such device). 
Sometimes, instead of that, I get the device busy message.

I'm becoming more convinced that this is a USB problem, rather than a printer 
problem. Do you aggree?

I hope that someone can finally help me with this. It's the only thing that 
really messes up MDK 9.0 for me.
