Bug#698060: all better
Brian, OdyX--
Thanks for your help, the printer got better. Sadly, I don't know
exactly what changed, so I can't document what fixed the problem.
One thing that may have poked things into success is I pm-suspend my
machine every night. That may have disturbed some software package in
the right direction.
I'll contend that there is still a problem here, the printer should
have self installed. In the span of 3 days I installed wheezy
(printer didn't work), installed squeeze (printer worked), installed
wheezy (printer didn't work).
I do know the "waiting for printer to become available" was resolved
when I power cycled the printer. I'd unplugged/replugged the USB
cable and didn't see anything show up in dmesg. I also plugged into a
different USB port and didn't see that in dmesg either. I'm guessing
the printer got into some oddball state. I suspect this "waiting"
problem is separate from the self installation problem.
Regardless, I appreciate the help and direction. If you find yourself
in Fort Collins, Colorado, the first beer is on me.
