I wonder why I didn't find that when I went looking for previous bugs.
It's a pity that cups tries to randomly probe stuff like USB at all when
I only have one locally attached parallel printer. I finally filed a
separate report for it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105986
I agree. I have no USB devices attached to my system, and no printers
of any flavor. I had defined no printers at the time, and only looked
into the problem when I had problems trying to use a network printer.
However, it didn't take cups two whole minutes to decide it couldn't
find the missing module.
I took another look at my boot messages, and I see a lot of messages
like:
Sep 29 10:26:15 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34
with different numbers attached. What is "block-major-*"? Something
the USB system generates as needed?
I'll add this to Nils' bug entry above.
Nils, did you get your printer to work even with this problem?
