Hi  due to changes in latest cups package this module is conflicting.  Shall we advise the users to blacklist usblp or shall we disable it by default  in kernel config?

I think that we shall advise the users to blacklist usblp.

What is your reasoning for this choice? The reason I ask is because I believe this module is used only for usb printers. Since cups no longer needs this module the only application that I can think of that would need this module would be p910nd. p910nd is a small printer daemon intended for diskless workstations that does not spool to disk but passes the job directly to the printer. I believe there might only be a few people that use this in arch. Those who do use it can compile usblp. It just seems to be more logical and cleaner to remove the module if there is only a very small user base. ~pyther
