Slack 10 with kernel 2.6.10
Box used as a print server. mail server & file server. printing via CUPS
Suddenly usb printer stops responding.....printer & cables etc all okay.
dmesg reports no significant errors.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices reports printer as normal.
tail /var/log/messages reports usb connect or unconnect as appropriate
ls /dev | grep usb gives

Any one know why that's happened or how to fix it?
