FYI these problems started for me about two weeks ago. I don't know what event started it but I am running the Gentoo distro, with 2.6.3-mm2 (it started these probs before 2.6.3-mm2), usb 1.1 OHCI with an Epson C80. Print jobs would hang and I had to unplug my usb cable to clear the job. I have reinstalled everything having to do with printing and I can now at least print but it hangs on the last page. I have to turn the printer off/on to continue. I assumed this was a cups issue but it sounds like a usb issue with the kernel?
