Paul, I suspect you've got a udev configuration problem. Your printer *should* get some kind of persistent symlink pointing to its device node, probably derived from its serial number. If that isn't working properly, fixing it should fix your recurring CUPS issues. If udev is behaving properly, then perhaps CUPS is latching on to something more transient. --=20 :wq
