Public bug reported: This seems similar to 872711, but installing 3.0.0-13 has not solved problem. Both usb printer and scanner were detected and ran properly in Ubuntu 11.04. Printer with parallel connection works properly in 11.10, but usb connection is not detected when I try to add usb printer.
