Is there a list of usb  printers that work with DSL? Plugging in my hp deskjet 940C into my Dell Latitude laptop before booting causes it to hang up during the device configuration stage. (I gave up trying to load drivers for the same printer previously on a Dell Inspirion).  I'm not sure that every printer that uses one of the listed supported drivers necessarily will be recognized and work.

Sort of; for example the HP deskjet 940 is listed with driver IJS/deskjet_940.

I have a deskjet 940C which I've tried on two different laptops with no success. It might be the "C" is different, or the problem is the USB connection. I'm trying to figure out which variable to focus on (the computer, the printer, the driver, etc.)

Try reading THIS howto and see if it helps. Start with the option 4 gimp print drivers first.

The problem is no printer device is to be found in any of the dev/ locations. If I plug in the printer usb cable prior to rebooting, it hangs when configuring devices.

My dell inspirion (currently out for repairs) would boot with the usb printer plugged in, but still no device would show up anywhere.
