CUPS usb printer problem
I run into this maybe once a month.
(installation details are at the bottom)
my kyocera laser printer (usb) cuts out and won't respond.
Restarting cups takes a very long time and the CUPS web pages don't show
any problems with the cups system.
The only messages in my syslog are:

Power cycling the printer doesn't seem to help much...

So I'll try rebooting the entire cups print server.
Not the solution I had hoped for.
But rebooting the system works.
At this point I'll make the accusation that there is more of a problem
with USB devices than with CUPS. But I never can tell with these things.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
