Like I said, I don't run cups or the cups-config-deamon at startup
# chkconfig --list | grep cups
cups 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
cups-config-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off
6:off
This seems to be a problem with USB hotplug. But I've checked all the
hotplug config files I can find and I don't see any printer stuff.
Thanks,
John
