 Using CUPS version 1.5.0-8Ubuntu7 (reported as installed by Synaptic) -
Connection was not successful.

Testing performed on two Ubuntu 11.10 installations without a printer
configuration installed. Opened the printers window manually, after
turning on the printer, and inserting the usb plug of the Belkin cable.
The query "lsusb" reported the presence of the cable. Printer
connection choices were "URI" or several types of Network connections;
in one instance there was also an "LPT#1" choice. The "/Model" choice
that worked (and still does), offered with the "ppa" CUPS version, did
not exist. Entered the URI that resulted using the ppa CUPS version;
result - the printer state on attempting to print a test page was
"Processing - Waiting for printer to become available.";or something
close to that.
