[Bug 35638] Re: Brother Hl-1050 and HL-1430 are not detected properly over USB

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Agh. Let's start with what I can give you straight away.

2. Despite /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb returning
direct usb://Brother/HL-1050%20series "Brother HL-1050 series" "Brother HL-1050 series USB #1" "MFG:Brother;CMD:PCL5,PJL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-;MDL:HL-1050 series;CLS:"

this is the output of lpinfo -v:
network socket
network beh
direct hpfax
direct hp
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct scsi
network smb

Does module) the file /dev/usblp0 (/dev/usblp1, ...) for your printer exist? Yes.
# ls -l /dev/usblp0 /dev/usb/lp0 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 2007-08-29 17:15 /dev/usblp0 -> usb/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp   180, 0 2007-08-29 17:15 /dev/usb/lp0

What is the output of "sudo usb_printerid /dev/usblp0" 
# usb_printerid /dev/usblp0 
GET_DEVICE_ID string:
MFG:Brother;CMD:PCL5,PJL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-1050 series;CLS:PRINTER;
(I only have this printer as a USB device, /dev/usb/ only contains lp0
