Till, I have moved on to Xubuntu 11.10 which immediately detected and setup my usb Brother MFC-8840D printer and allowed me to install the Brother scanner driver, neither of which would work with Ubuntu 11.10. Unfortunately, I could not wait for this bug to play out as I needed use of the printer/scanner. Since I started this bug, I feel some responsibility to help. Do not know if this is a valid test, but installed your CUPS package using Ubuntu 11.10 liveCD. My usb printer was not detected. I would think someone would want to look at differences between Xubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.10 to determine why Xubuntu works and Ubuntu does not - of course that is it works for me. Perhaps some others could test Xubuntu 11.10 to help determine solution.
