Comment 37 for bug 468701

Tim -

From Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04, KDE 4.3.2.

Here's the output of the five commands you wanted run:

sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
 nothing returned

sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
 GET_DEVICE_ID string:

sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp1

(same as in Karmic)

And as previously stated, the printer works - I opened a document and printed it.

In CUPS (1.3.9), this is the information for my printer:
Panasonic (Default)
Description: KX-P4410
 Location: Desk
 Printer Driver: Panasonic KX-P4410 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.3
 Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1309_f002_noserial_if0_printer_noserial

Panasonic
Description: KX-P4410
 Location: Desk
 Printer Driver: Panasonic KX-P4410 Foomatic/ljet2p (recommended)
 Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1309_f002_noserial_if0_printer_noserial

Two different printer drivers, and both work.
