Thanks to both for answer, and thank you for your recommendation of
to read the section 5.3.1 of the fine manual :-) I've got to progress in
the configuration:

sirius:~# lspci|grep USB
0000:00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 
  1.1 Controller (rev 90)
0000:00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB
  1.1 Controller (rev 90)
0000:00:10.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB
  1.1 Controller (rev 90)
0000:00:10.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB
  1.1 Controller (rev 90)
0000:00:10.4 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 90)

sirius:~# cat /etc/xen/printserver
[...]
pci=['00,10,0']
[...]

sirius:~# tail -n 5 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[...]
module          /vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen root=/dev/hda3 acpi=noirq 
pciback.hide=(0000:00:10.0)

sirius:~# xm console 8

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 printserver tty1

But I think what I missed something, because I don't see /dev/usb/lp0
(It'd be the name of device, I think). Should I install other(s)
module(s) or to hide another device from dom0? I'm using Debian
GNU/Linux Sarge in both dom0 and domU's.

Regards,
Daniel
