Bug Description
This problem first appeared in oneiric (the printer was detected in many Ubuntu releases before). A "proposed kernel" was suggested under bug 872711, # 3.0.0-13, which fixed the problem. However, I then took further kernel updates and detection of my printer is broken again. Currently running 3.0.0-16. It was suggested in bug 872711 that I open a new bug and reference it there, so that is what I am now doing.

Can you please run the following commands and post their output here:
sudo /usr/lib/ cups/backend/ usb
sudo modprobe usblp
ls -l /dev/usb/lp*
sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp1

Can you also try the CUPS packages (cups + cups-filters, a backport from Precise) from my PPA:

Does this alternative CUPS version detect your printer?
