Comment 6 for bug 989766

Srikanth
 I was by accident able to install able to install the printer and printed about 20 pages over a period of 2 days and then it reverted to cups backend failed.
 Further; this machine has not showed up as a cd rom but as (an HP device Bus002dev:004); When I checked just now it does no appear at all. This may have happened since I was able to install the printer wirelessly to another laptop and print OKfor one day only. It was not found this morning.
However this comes now from the usb connected machine; since the failure of the wireless connection. Indicating the printer as Bus 002 Dev 005.as you can see it does not show as a CDROM( never has). There has been some talk in forums of someone using Modeswitch? to manipulate the state of CDROM to something elseand I see that (usb_modeswitch, usb_modeswitch_dispatcher) was installed here by default. I didn't have the skill to try using it

 As it remains both methods of printer are non-usable for me.
Thanks for your interest.
 I will be happy to try more and post if requested. I'll see if I can find the discussion about modeswitch for you.
