Comment 13 for bug 193575

Good to know that this isn't just me! I've marked your bug as a duplicate of this one so that anyone who finds one will find the other, and I'm marking yours as confirmed as well.

I really hope that a fix could happen for this -- I don't know much about the driver internals, but it seems like it could be fixed by handling the disconnect (that's caused by the hardware courtesy HP) more gracefully.
