+Freshtomato uses the p910nd daemon for printing. It doesn't spool to disk but passes jobs directly to the printer.
+If your printer doesn't need a hotplug driver, you can use it native. Most printers work right out of the box. However, some models don't contain firmware and need a hotplug script to send  fimware to the printer upon USB connection.
+Examples of such printers include:
+HP LaserJet 1018/1020/P2035/P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008/P1505/P1505n/P2014/P2014n

 ===== USB Support Notes =====
-Some USB storage settings require the unloading/reloading of USB storage drivers. Changing those settings can affect the contents of your system log (syslog) file. For example, enabling or disabling filesystems, or unmounting the drive where the system log is stored may cause storage errors and possibly loss of log content.

-Before changing any USB filesystem settings, you should first reconfigure syslog to be stored (temporarily) in RAM. Only then should you adjust filesystem settings or unmount the drive. Then you can configure syslog to again store log files on USB storage, where it shouldn't be interrupted.

-**USB filesystem corruption is a very common cause of system instability.** You could experience a VPN connectivity issue, WiFi instability or any other seemingly "random" problem directly or indirectly caused by USB filesystem issues. When troubleshooting, you are advised to add USB filesystem checks to your troubleshooting checklist.
