[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#632189: cups can not detect my usb printer

[Orson]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.6-6
Severity: important

After upgrading to Cups 1.4.6-9 my usb printer could not be detected by cups.
I Even tried removing usblp from blacklist and adding "FileDevice yes" to
cupsd.conf and restarting cups but my printer could not be detected by cups.
Solution was to downgrade cups to 1.4.6-6 and everything worked perfectly
again.
