What do you get if you unplug the USB cable from your printer, run 'dmesg'
in a console, plug it back in again, wait 10 seconds, and run 'dmesg'
again? Hopefully you should see a difference between the two invocations?
There's also 'files' under /proc/bus/usb/ (not sure about Ubuntu -
currently running Gentoo) that might tell you if it's detected properly.
Just manually go thru them and 'cat' them out. If there's anything
interesting, perhaps post back here.
