RE: brother hl-1440 on usb with CUPS
well, the next thing I have is maybe the printer is not enabled? (accepting
print jobs but not printing)
did you already try
/usr/sbin/enable /dev/usb/lp0
you can also try
/usr/sbin/accept /dev/usb/lp0
I am just reaching here but you can also try setting it as the default
printer (although I don't think this would be necessary)
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -d /dev/usb/lp0
