But SuSE has told me, that some computers doesn't do hotplug. What is the solution then ?.

I think they mean that if you have no usb controller, you can't use usb peripherals, ie: no hardware hotplug. The software hotplug does work quite well and I've not seen a system with usb ports that wasn't detected properly by SuSE's scripts.

Hi James. I'm not sure cause what you say, what SuSE meant about what they told me. BUT they told me it was ok to have the insmod printer line placed in the /etc/init.d/boot.local to boot the USB printer during the boot sequence.

Are you having any trouble with a specific device? If I had more information I could probably help you better.

Yes I have troubles with my DJ895Cxi DeskJet printer using my VMware Workstation as guest under Linux. The printer works excellent in Linux. I use samba for my LJ1100A LaserJet printer, that works ok. It works vis Samba. But I cannot get the DJ895Cxi printer to work. Not as a printer connected directly to the USB, NOR via Samba, still connected to one of the USB ports.
