Hi Jeff,

I'm sorry that USB hotplug doesn't work for you, but I would like to let you, 
and the developers, know that it is working on my system. I just tried it by 
unplugging the printer and then back in and I can still print.

I'm using Gentoo with the following ebuilds:
xen-8885
xen-sources-2.6.16_rc3

Do you have Hotplug compiled in your kernel?

Please let me know if there is any specific information and/or config files 
that you'd like me to send to the list as I'm not sure what might be 
helpfull.

Kind regards,

Joost
