That makes sense. However, why is it that you can only detect a printer
(maybe the case with other hw?) when booting up? Limitations in how you
can talk to the printer hardware? If I run 'kudzu -s' from a VT once
Fedora is loaded up, it returns with nothing. I think I should be able
to turn my printer on after the fact and *then* run kudzu and get it
added to hwbrowser. What are the current technical difficulties of doing
this? Note, as I've already stated previously, printing still works
without the printer listed in hwbrowser, so this is more a
consistency/aesthetic issue.
