I got the gentoo CD and followed the directions for a stage 3 install with a vanilla kernel. Nothing fancy. Going through make config I see that, curiously, the default for usb printers is "no".

Or maybe I just missed it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Alan K.
