Charles-

Thanks.
Does this indicate that the module is present in the system:

cd  /lib/modules/3.2.0-36-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget

ls -l g_printer.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28148 Jan 8 15:50 g_printer.ko

file g_printer.ko
g_printer.ko: ELF 32 bit LSB relocatable, Inter 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
BuildID [sha1]=0xc979f30133944500a3fcbacdd4336846925a8e9c, not stripped
