I had the same problem on an Ultra 5. I didn't investigate it very well,
and solved it the lazy way. (Read: I went to a shop to buy a usb pci
card and attachted a usb printer to it; I needed usb for other devices
as well so this was the most convenient solution for me.)
If anyone has a real solution, I would like to hear it though.
