Well, yes. It was pretty cryptic, so I turned on the debug logging, but
it's still pretty cryptic. The only thing I see which seems relevant is
this:
E [11/Jun/2009:12:29:41 -0500] PID 13834 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb) crashed
on signal 9!
There are no other error entries and nothing else in the output suggests the
nature of the problem. A crash of the usb utility certainly doesn't sound
good, but I have no idea what could be causing it.
