Err, well, usblp is required (by the kernel itself) for *every* USB printing
class device to actually work.
Hotplug should have installed it in.

Well, I don't really mind adding a note to the readme about making sure the
kernel is in a sane state to talk to usb devices. Will do so.

As I said, hotplug should have installed usblp the moment you plugged a usb
printer-class device into the system.
