Good to know. I just looked and I see it in the list I made of the files in 
the root filesystem.

Can I chat with you off-list about this? I'd like to get more details about 
the problems you are experiencing in case I may run in to the same problems. 
My first question is whether there is a /dev/usb/lp0 (or similar) that appears 
when the printer is connected and turned on.
