[gobolinux-users] USB printer and CUPS

[Giambattista Bloisi]

I answer myself :)

Eventually I realized that the problem was very low-level: the kernel 
and the BIOS did not manage correctly my usb controllers, so I fixed the 
problem by applying the acpi patch 
(http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/) to the kernel.

I think it could be worth including it in future gobolinux kernel 
releases: it is very frustrating to deal with such problems :(

Regards,
Giambattista
