Bug Description
This seems similar to 872711, but installing 3.0.0-13 has not solved problem. Both usb printer and scanner were detected and ran properly in Ubuntu 11.04. Printer with parallel connection works properly in 11.10, but usb connection is not detected when I try to add usb printer.

Interesting discovery. I created Xubuntu 11.10 liveCD, loaded without installing, checked Settings:Printing, and there was my usb Brother MFC-8840D printer automatically detected and setup! Device URI: usb://Brother/ MFC-8840D? serial= 000M4j407389. What is difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu that allowed Xubuntu to detect usb printer?
