USB printer driver association?

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

I'm running YDL 2.2.  I have a PowerCenter with a PCI 
USB card connected to a hub which has a printer 
connected to it through a USB-to-parallel adapter.

When I boot Linux with the everything attached, I get a 
message that the adapter was detected but that it 
couldn't be associated with an active driver.  I have 
wait for booting to complete, unplug the adapter from 
the hub, and plug it back to get the USB driver to 
assign it the usblp device driver.  Then I can print.

Is there any way to make that association happen without 
the physical unplugging and replugging?  I'd like to be 
able to reboot remotely and have full functionality 
rather than having to make a trip to the computer to get 
printing back.
