Yes, I have tried this. I switched to a VT and ran 'kudzu
--class=PRINTER' but instead of kudzu detecting the printer and asking
if I'd like to configure it, it instead tells me one-by-one that all my
other hardware has been removed (video,sound,usb etc) and I have to
select "Do Nothing" to keep my system sane. 
So it looks like I'm SOL in this situation..kudzu only seems to want/be
able to communicate with the printer if it's on when I boot up. That's
when I hear the beep from printer confirming kudzu has talked to it and
I'll be able to print. Maybe someone could tell me this is normal
(albeit rediculous) behaviour? Is this what you guys have to do as well?
