Description:
>From linux-image-2.6.15-19-powerpc64-smp, I am unable to print to a USB
printer.  I tested a ppc32 machine and it prints to the same USB printer
fine.

dmesg reports:

When I attempt to print to the printer, the light will blink, and then
stop.  No page is issued.

The printer is a Lexmark E270.
