I wonder why I didn't find that when I went looking for previous bugs.

I agree. I have no USB devices attached to my system, and no printers
of any flavor. I had defined no printers at the time, and only looked
into the problem when I had problems trying to use a network printer.

However, it didn't take cups two whole minutes to decide it couldn't
find the missing module.

I took another look at my boot messages, and I see a lot of messages
like:

Sep 29 10:26:15 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34

with different numbers attached. What is "block-major-*"? Something
the USB system generates as needed?

I'll add this to Nils' bug entry above.

Nils, did you get your printer to work even with this problem?
