I don't think it does.  Right after booting, the following
printing-related modules are loaded: parport, parport_pc, and lp.  The
kicker is, I don't have anything on the parallel port (the printer is
USB).

Nope.  The only think stopping hotplug and restarting it did was cause
the usb-uhci and usbcore modules to unload and reload.

Looking through /var/log/messages, starting up hotplug causes these
errors to be printed (along with the normal(?) output):

/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no drivers for USB product 0/0/0
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no drivers for USB product 4a6/180/108

RedHat 7.0.

If this will help any, this is my USB setup...

My mother board is a Tyan Tiger 133 with the Apollo Pro 133a chipset.
There are two USB ports on the mobo.  Attached to one port is my Nokia
446Xpro monitor which has a 4 port USB hub in the back.  Attached to the
other port is my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, which has a 2 port hub.
Nothing is normally attached to the keyboard hub.  Attached to the
monitor hub is my Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, Epson Stylus Photo
870, and Sandisk SDDR-31 compact flash reader.

Is there any more info I can provide that might help?
