Etch now uses udev to dynamically create devices. The device for your
printer isn't going to appear until it is powered up and connected.
If you printer *is* powered up and connected, then perhaps it is now
on a different device. Check /var/log/messages, /usr/share/doc/udev,
and the etch release notes for ideas on what that new device might be
(or how to troubleshoot).
