I've been having problems with my printer for a while now. It is an Epson Stylus C42UX, and it "disappears" from my recognised hardware list every time I reboot - which is every day, as I don't have a cat-proof room for the computer!

In an earlier thread, Albert Charron suggested a workaround - urpme cups, then urpmi cups, then reinstall printer. This works, but I have to do it every time I reboot - it doesn't seem to stick.

Thinking back, the printer problem seems to have started once I got my scanner stabilised - when I first got the scanner, I was having to reinstall it every time I wanted to use it, but now it is automatically recognised every time I reboot. The scanner is also a USB device.

Is it possible that my Mandrake setup is only capable of automatically recognising one USB device at at time? If this is the case, is there any way to change it?
