I have now tried this on a fresh installation of OpenSUSE 10.2 on the same machine and same printer. (I just pulled out the hard drive on which Ubuntu was installed and installed SUSE on a different drive. This is easy for me, since I have removable drive drawers.) The results of the lpinfo -v command are similar: erratic visibility of the usb Brother HL-1440 printer, regardless of whether the printer is "ready" or in sleep mode. Unplugging and replugging the USB cable brings back the visibility for a while. I also tried this on Ubuntu 6.10. Same problems.

The lengthy delay while reading the printer database, which I mentioned in my prior comment on this bug, has been reported in other bugs. Note: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-cups-manager/+bug/44465 . Probably unrelated to this USB bug.
