Hardware missing after 2.4->2.6 upgrade

I just installed a fresh gentoo on a pc that had a fully functional kernel 2.4 install.
Now I'm having problems with my usb printer and ide dvd burner.

The printer is listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices and I have the module usblp loaded. But instead of having a /dev/usb/lp0, I have a /dev/usb file, and no printer device.

I used to use the dvd burner with dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 and it worked. Now that fails, and I when I run cdrecord -scanbus, I get my sata drives and cfcard reader only. I have scsi emulation, scsi cd, and atapi cd all compiled into the kernel.

dont use scsi emulation. use dev=/dev/hdX notation, not ATAPI. make sure your user has write access to that node.

That worked, once I switched from dvdrtools to cdrtools.

Anybody have an idea about the printer?

I don't think you need to recompile (at least not in this case).
I still have the scsi emulation in my kernel, I just used the dev=/dev/hdX notation. The cdrecord included in the dvdrtools didn't work for me at all, so I switched to cdrtools.
