[cups.general] USB Printer

[Michael Sweet]

The Belkin USB-to-parallel converter you are using is probably not fully implementing the USB Printer class, or is otherwise incompatible with the libusb-based USB backend.  We have a bug tracking this:

I ask because although the printer is on and connected, the dmesg output when the printer is connected shows usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Belk USB Printing Support, which is correct, as there's a parallel-to-usb converter on the line. Now the usblp driver is started, so I'm assuming that the kernel figures out that there's a printer there, but CUPS does not.
