Bug Description
I have an Epson STYLUS PHOTO RX640 and I have connected to my Ubuntu Flight 7 on the PPC distribution.
dmesg detects the usb connection, but when I try to configure the printer nor Cups neither the gnome printer configuration detects any printer connected.
The cups web interfaces does not permits any usb connection either.
This is a multifunction system and the scanner is not detected.
On the previus Ubuntu version the printer was detected as RX600 printer.

cups assumes (at least in final drapper) that usb printer live under /dev/usb/lp*.
The udev rule doesn't match that assumption. I had to change:

Maybe /dev/usblpX should also symlink to /dev/usb/lpX, maybe the other way round, or maybe we should just fix cups. However, it's inconsistant in Dapper ATM.
