48 A stab in the dark:
49
50 Does udev know about the printer? - this identifies a new usb device to
51 the kernel as a usb printer instead of just an unknown usb device.
52
53 Do you have sane installed? - if its a multifunction device sane may
54 have grabbed it first (for the scanner) locking the printer out.
55 Requires some manual tuning of the udev rules if this is the case (this
56 is required by my epson multifunction)
