I decided to create a new bug 883169, since solution to this bug did not work for my Brother MFC-8840D usb printer. And I also made an interesting discovery. I created an Xubuntu 11.10 liveCD, loaded without installing, opened Settings:Printing, and there was my usb Brother printer automatically detected and setup! And it works. So what is the difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu that would allow Xubuntu to detect a Brother usb printer?
