This is unusual. Can you do "cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers" and
"cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" , and send the whole content of these?

And also any USB-related messages in your "/var/log/syslog",
"/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/debug" (your syslogs might
be named slight differently) - you might have to do some
editing to remove sensitive info.

Attached is a small file called "usb-bytes". When you do
     ps2epl file.ps
you get "file.epl", right? Then do this
     cat usb-bytes file.epl > /dev/usb/lp0

The file contains the init string for turning on the USB interface
of some Epson stylus inkjets. The 5700L does not like this procedure,
the 5900L does not need it. We thought the 5800L is close to
the 5900L but just in case the 5800L needs the init string.
