Like I said, I don't run cups or the cups-config-deamon at startup
# chkconfig --list | grep cups
cups 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
cups-config-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off
6:off
This seems to be a problem with USB hotplug. But I've checked all the
hotplug config files I can find and I don't see any printer stuff.
Thanks,
John
Have you tried enabling cups at startup to see if your problem goes away?
Why have you disabled cups? Is your system is that resource limited?
