Bug Description
The printer was handled without problem in many previous Ubuntu releases.
I don't really believe the fault is in CUPS, but it shows up as CUPS not being able to find the printer.
I did various tests recommended in https:/
#2:
$ lsmod | grep usb
usb_storage 44173 0
#3/4: Here's what gets added to /var/log/syslog when the printer is
either turned on or plugged back in after being unplugged:
Oct 17 19:22:45 gateway kernel: [ 4544.968057] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd

Sounds to me like it gave up interpreting it as a printer and decided
to call it a storage device.
