I have a Minolta PagePro 1350 printer. When I use the workaround I get the
error 'raw printers cannot use file: devices!'
Is there another workaround?

I found that the usb backend stalled here before actually doing any
work. Before I've done any actual debugging of the backend, I suspect
that it is being blocked on a status read attempt, though this is only
my current guess.
Here is a workaround:
In printers.conf () you will probably find a line like this:
DeviceURI usb:/dev/ulpt0
change usb: to file:, so that it looks something like this:
DeviceURI file:/dev/ulpt0
Then restart cups. Cups will not read any status information from the
printer, but at least it can print. Be warned about unknown side effects. :)
