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? -- Registered Linux User #348963 / counter.li.org GnuPG UserID: CE9F8922 / gnupg.org
