The usbutils patch (to get the "usbmodules" command)
should make a difference in some cases ... it's used to
synthesize boot-time ("cold-plugging" :) events when
needed, and to make sure that USB devices with multiple
interfaces get them all configured. If the 740i looks like
other Epson printers I've seen, it's not the latter case.
So no, it's not intended to be essential, except for those
two cases, on current kernels.
I suspect the problem is actually something else; if
RedHat is incorporating only some of the hotplug
scripts, it's very possible they didn't get something
important. I'll follow up on the other thread ... :)
