I had defined no printers at the time, and only looked into the problem when I had problems trying to use a network printer. However, it didn't take cups two whole minutes to decide it couldn't find the missing module. I took another look at my boot messages, and I see a lot of messages like: Sep 29 10:26:15 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34 with different numbers attached. What is "block-major-*"? Something the USB system generates as needed? I'll add this to Nils' bug entry above.
