Hi Just to raise priority of this, there is also forum postings about this here:

http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524438&page=2 , I had the same problem and tried a myriad of different things none of which worked, but downgrading libusb obviously does, as below:

sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4=2:0.1.12-14

I had several different errors associated around this, initially it would fail to register the printer with an error about

usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1

Following instructions from here:

The error was changed to the following:

hp[5252]: prnt/backend/hp.c 752: INFO: open device failed stat=21: hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1010?serial=(removed); will retry in 30 seconds

The problem is definitely with libusb as downgrading solved my issues as well.
