    Likely unrelated ... but I think this means you've got a pretty old
    version of the hotplug scripts.  Recent ones have a workaround
    for the kernel issue whereby the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
    in "hub.c" doesn't export the same info that hotplugging does.
    (Device match not interface match, or vice versa.)

    Does unplugging/replugging the printer make a difference?

which may suggest that the hotpluf stuff you sent (to me in private
email) may need some updating perhaps.
