David,

Have you looked at the HOW-TO page at "How to configure a usb local 
printer"? I believe I had the same problem you have and the key for me 
was the command "chmod 777 /dev/usb/lp0". I know nothing about Linux and 
could not get my usb modem, printer,or sound to work. I followed the 
above noted How-To and now my printer works.

If you have an external usb modem and you have it working, I would 
appreciate knowing how to do that. Also the sound. I have a 500MHz G4 
and a ZOOM 56K usb modem.

Thanks,
Bob Jones
