Did you install the hotplug package? apt-get install hotplug.
If you have set up hotplug correctly, you can check the syslog to see
if the printer is being picked up.
In a console, F1-F6, run this
tail -f /var/log/syslog

you have it set up correctly you will see something like this: NOTE
this is for my usb camera as I don't have a usb printer.
