[STR New]

Since Version 1.4.7 cups doesn't detect some USB HP Printers anymore.
Deleting all printers and then adding a new printer doesn't solve the
problem. In this case it's a HP LaserJet 1200:

mtp-probe: checking bus 6, device 8:
"/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-2"
mtp-probe: bus: 6, device: 8 was not an MTP device
udev-configure-printer: add
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-2/6-2:1.0
udev-configure-printer: parent devpath is
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-2
udev-configure-printer: Device vendor/product is 03F0:0317
udev-configure-printer: MFG:Hewlett-Packard MDL:HP LaserJet 1200 SERN:-
serial:00CNxxxxxxx
kernel: [260637.905636] usb 6-2: usbfs: process 15544 (usb) did not claim
interface 1 before use
udev-configure-printer: no corresponding CUPS device found

A user at the ArchLinux forum posted another example, in his case it was a
HP Deskjet 842C.

Switching to version 1.4.6 brings the USB Printer back again.
