Hey thanks for that, sorry I am a linux newbie.
I followed this how-to on disabling udev:
http:// www.canfield.com/content/openvz-unable-open-pty-no-such-file -or-directory and restarted the container, looked from this link that it is a CentOS thing.
Now I have the bus folder showing up with the appropriate details.
lsusb is returning a result now but I still need to do some trouble shooting.
Seems that there is an issue with cups not detecting some usb printers (like mine Brother MFC-240c) in the device list even with the right driver installed. Not an OpenVZ thing as the host (CentOS) doesn't detect it in cups interface and even trying cat > /dev/usb/lp0 does nothing (was suggested on a site I found as a way to check the usb printer was working.) Something for another forum.

cheers for the help, had me stumped.
