Check /var/log/messages for entries on the printer. When you plug it
in, there should be messages about registering a new usb device. If
for some reason it unregisters, you will see messages about that
also. 

Please list what packages you installed for print services and post
contents of /etc/printcap.

Also, look at /var/log for other log for the printer. Should see
entries like /var/log/lp-errs or /var/log/lpr.log.
