[Bug 84945] Re: Don't automatically select good driver

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
This issue is similar to bug #54362, keeping seperate for now.

Quoting Till:
The problem is that often the model information which a printer reports back on an auto-detection request (device ID) is not in printer database at it is not known to us. And as it often does not match the exact writing of the human-readable printer name in the printer list, the matching sometimes fails.

Can you do

sudo rmmod usblp
sudo modprobe usblp
sudo lpinfo -l -v

and post the output here?
