Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My printer is HP LaserJet P1005. My old OS was Karmic 9.10, it worked fine then and now after 'upgrading' to Oneiric 11.10 it does not. After I switch printer off and back on it either gets no firmware or is not enabled. In either case nobody can print on it - in first case it gets job but does not print (this kind of printers does not print without firmware loaded) and in second case jobs are stacked in queue until I manually enable printer in control tool. I'll cite my syslog below for both cases. Hope you'll get it fixed. First case (printer enabled, no firmware loaded): Nov 18 00:05:45 rep kernel: [951842.276057] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device number 62 using ehci_hcd Nov 18 00:05:46 rep mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 62: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2" Nov 18 00:05:46 rep mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 62 was not an MTP device Nov 18 00:05:46 rep logger: loading hp_laserjet_p1005 firmware 001 062 Nov 18 00:05:49 rep /usr/sbin/hpljP1005: foo2zjs: loading HP LaserJet P1005 firmware /lib/firmware/hp/sihpP1005.dl to CUPS USB device ...

As you can see both cases are identical up to line 'udev-configure-printer: Device vendor/product is 03F0:3D17'. The most common is second case but randomly first case comes too. If I enable printer manually then it stays enabled until first case happens (i.e. no firmware loaded) - I have to restart printer in that case so it's disabled when I switch it off: Nov 18 00:37:28 rep udev-configure-printer: Disabled printer ipp://localhost:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_P1005 as the corresponding device was unplugged or turned off and after that as soon firmware loaded printer is left disabled again.
