Printer:

Oct  9 20:59:14 localhost kernel: usb 5-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14

Tungsten:

Oct  9 20:59:43 localhost kernel: usb 5-1.6: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16


Of course, in both cases the necessary kernel modules are already installed.

I'm gathering from the messages here that udev is the place to report this
bug?
