Comment 109 for bug 35638

Sorry bout the goose chase.. seemed to work for me so I thought I'd pass it along..(messed up the launchpad in the bargain...my bad!.CUPS is a puzzle I think is still missing a piece or two..your experience is strange and different than mine so I have no ideas left. Sorry. If I think of something I'll email it but really have no idea. Now I am running Gutsy and I think you said you are on Hardy..so maybe there is a difference there, dunno. Got me stumped.
Good luck,
Bill

Otherwise, same driver, etc. It worked, I made it default, printed
again, then suspended.

When I came back from suspend, the old Stylus-R220 definition was
working fine and the new default R220-test was "unplugged" !

$lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Running that command did not make R220-test become functional.

I then made the old Stylus-220 definition the default again, and re-
suspended.

Then both R220-test and Stylus-R220 come up as "unplugged". lsusb shows
nothing on Bus001 or 002. But just running that command makes both
R220-test and Stylus-R220 work.

$lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Color me totally puzzled. Hopefully it means something to you!
