Hi, Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on a problem I've had on two different HP printers using USB with CUPS (SuSE 8.0). It has only happened a couple of times and on different computers (one at the office, the other at home). Under certain circumstances (yet to be ascertained) when a printer is turned off and then back on, the printer will not accept a print job. I suppect that it is something to do with the USB hotplug utility which reassigns the USB device number somehow and /dev/usb/lp0 does not point to the correct USB device number anymore. The only solution I have found to solve the problem is to reboot the computer. I cannot find any information on how printers operate via USB and the hotplug utility or am I looking in the wrong area. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
