While I am generally happy with my OS (to the extent that I hardly ever need to boot into Windows XP SP3), there are a couple of USB-related problems that won't go away on my system and that I can't fix by myself. 1) My Canon PIXMA MG2470 printer does not print. Although a) all necessary ports are installed, b) print/cups-base has been built with libusb, and c) the printer is recognized immediately by the system the moment it is switched on, the list of local printers in CUPS browser-based configuration is empty. Further, the printer - when switched on - shows up at an indeterminate location /dev/usb/2.X.0 (X could be 3 or 5 or 6), despite explicitly being hooked to /dev/usb/2.6.0 in /etc/devfs.rules 2) The APC UPS attached to my system is not able to shut down my system in case of a power failure, although apcupsd.conf is configured to initiate a system shutdown when battery level falls below 5 minutes remaining. Running self-test with acptest succeeds with result PASSED, but battery calibration with apctest fails with the message "Failed to read current battery level" despite battery level being 100% and load being in the region of 20% (percentage figures as reported by APC Powerchute v3.0.2 on Windows XP SP3). Both printer and UPS work seamlessly under Windows XP SP3. I am attaching to this message a zip archive containing : output of 'uname -a' list of ports installed latest log of dmesg copy of /etc/rc.conf Thanks for any help.
