Hmm, I don't think that's the reason, as the printer is behind a powered hub
on the 2nd USB, and kb/mouse are on the 1st... To clarify this here is the
USB layout:
iMac USB #1 ----> iMac Keyboard
|
--------> Logitech mouse
iMac USB #2 ----> HAMA USB HUB w/external power
| | |
| | ----> HP DeskJet 840 C
| --------> Imation SuperDisk Drive
------------> Canon Scanner
So I really guess it's a kernel problem. BTW, using MacOS (still 8.6),
everything works fine...
Thanks,
Albrecht.
