Thanks Tim. So if I boot up with the printer off, and kudzu tells me
that the printer has been removed, I should then choose the "Do nothing"
option? If I then turn on the printer when the system is up and running,
will I then need to run kudzu to re-add the printer? Or can this only be
done during booot-up? If so, would kudzu -c
PRINTER do it? Is it safe to do this from runlevel 5?
