[Colchester] USB printing Debian Etch How?

[Wayland Sothcott]

Hello Colchester,

I have been attempting to print to a Minolta DiALTA laser printer at a 
customer site from the Debian Etch server I just installed. I know I 
have CUPS installed but I don't think the Parallel port printing works 
on the server and printer but I know the USB works when plugged in a 
Windows box.

 From looking at tail of the server /var/log file I can see that it sees 
the USB printer being plugged in and out but I can't get CUPS test print 
to make a page come out. I have used the CUPS web interface 
https://mysvr:631/ but the printer USB is not listed.

I have been searching the Internet for a good procedure to get this 
going. I's possible I am missing printers module from the kernal. Has 
can anyone give me a good procedure for getting printing going on Debian 
Etch. I am pretty sure I can share it if I could only get it to print.

Cheers,
Wayland.
