USB printer not recognized

[angelo]

Hi all,

i am posting this issue as a CUPS bug, since kernel (lsusb) is detecting the printer correctly, but doing "Add Printer" or "Find New Printers" on CUPS don't produce any USB printer detection.

Below information of my system:

Linux version 3.1.6 (root at angel3) (gcc version 4.6.2 (Debian 4.6.2-9) )
CUPS 1.5.0 (tested also 1.4.8 and 1.6.-svn, same issue)


-->lsusb                                                                         ...

No usb device visible.

If i use as a workaround the url composed manually as:
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_P1005?serial=BC01Z4L

everything work.
