Where can I find a list of supported USB printers for Centos5? We're looking to add a printer to our system that can print out a full 8.5x11 sheet that has a peel off label on it. So I need something supported, and I need to figure out what to use to spit this stuff out. The data is coming in as a PDF file...

The nice thing about USB printers is that they all have the same low-level interface, usblp. Now all you need to do is find one that supports PostScript (preferably) or PCL, and *doesn't* have "host-based printing" (marketroid speak for "our printer is as dumb as a rock, so our proprietary driver does the hard work instead". See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpl07... for HP's own take on it).
