Thanks to everyone that has considered my problem.
Here is some more info.
1) I can not duplicate the problem on a dual G4 that I have. Attached
the HP and installed the software without any problem.
2) I got a guy in support that uses disk images to setup trade show
Macs. He ran into the problem last week only on G5s (Dual towers and
iMacs). The 15" Al book didn't show the problem with the same image.
3) With a clean iMac G5, I do not get the problem. Just attaching the
USB printer did not have a problem. Installing the HP software, then I
had the problem. Uninstalled the HP software and still had the problem
(unistaller said it couldn't uninstall everything.) Updated the OS from
10.3.7 to 10.3.8 and the problem was gone. Imaged the iMac with the
support image (10.3.8) and the problem exists again.
I am really confused. USB Logger is not much help. Is there a way to
get it to log info to a file during boot? Is there a way I can get a
listing of every process launched since boot? Or is there a way I can
log that info?
Reminder:
This ONLY happens when auto logging into a user.
Dave,
This particular USB HP printer does not have such buttons. (deskjet
5550), though this is a different printer than my user has. Also, I
think Rob is correct. I've seen the kIOReturnExclusiveAccess error
before when I when I was working on Fast User Switching and one driver
was trying to grab the tablet before the other let it go.
Thanks,
raleigh

I don't think that is a possibility. If, indeed, the HP driver had
opened the Tablet, Raleigh would have seen the
kIOReturnExclusiveAccess return code during his attempt.

Just a thought...
Does the HP printer have a HID interface that their software might be
grabbing (some newer print/scan devices have extra buttons
implemented as HID devices)? If so, maybe their software is
inadvertently grabbing your device too?
