USB issues

[Socaltom]

So I'm trying to install Cups on a Pro that I've had running pytivo and samba for sometime now. Its currently booting from a single 1TB usb drive ( until I can find my Sata cable).

I'm trying to follow the guide for cups with airprint. ( I have this currently running on my pink v2).

I started by taking a spare 165GB usb drive, formatting it , extracting the tarball and booting up as per the guide.
Then I followed the CUPS guide.

When I try to add the USB printers through webmin, USB isn't an option.
When I run lsusb, i get no output ( except immediatly after booting, it lists one of my two printers, but it only works once)
I've gone through the Arch Cups wiki, but no solutions have worked.

When I plugged in the original drive and booted up, USB was an option, but I still have random lsusb issues.

I think the issue is related to the lsusb problem, but I don't know where to go next.

I started getting the same problem about two weeks ago, when I boot with the kernel in NAND and the rootfs on SATA (no problem when I boot with rootfs on USB). When it goes wrong, lsusb shows the root hub device but not the 4-port hub or attached devices:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I typically have to reboot three or four times before it successfully finds all of my USB devices:

FWIW, It works fine with my HP LJ1320. When I try to hook up the PSC2200 all in one, the USB goes haywire.
