Hi I have an application in which USB printer should get detected and signal has to be recieved, My question is should that be handled in driver
I have heard about the message being sent from kernel space to user space; is it that which has to be done???,.. I went through lot of material which explains about /sbin/hotplug but couldnot get that to work....
Can anybody suggest how it should be done or any other better ideas???

Try looking at "dbus" and "HAL" documentation; the theory there being to use dbus to communicate with HAL.
