Try loading the following modules from the command line as root :
modprobe uhci
modprobe printer
and then retry accessing your printer. If it is OK, you can then
add the two modules to your /etc/modules file to have them
automatically loaded at startup. Of course drop the "modprobe"
when inserting the lines to your file...
It was successful for me :-)
Hope this helps,
