Hi Jen,
In my /etc/modules I have the following comment and module:
# Allow USB printer to be powered up after boot.
usblp
I'm afraid I don't know how or where I found that out. I think it's
been there since pre-lenny.
Also I don't know whether the order of modules in /etc/modules is
significant; you might want to experiment with that.
