Comment:
Very similar experience here with an Epson CX-3200 which has worked fine
under Warty through to Breezy.  (Though requiring manual selection of
"USB Printer #1" on the Properties Connection tab to work under Breezy.
I think this may have been more automatic under earlier releases)

Using Dapper, when the Add a Printer wizard appears, there is no printer
detected and if I try to specify a port then no USB ports are listed for
selection.  Just LPT #1, Parallel Port #1 (Epson or Canon) and hp
no_device_found.  So I can't get the printer to run at all under Dapper
using the gui.

Running gnome-cups-manager produced little output;  the most I got on
one run was "IPP request failed with status 1030" repeated a couple of
times.
