Chris, thanks for your suggestion - the usb printer is detected and works properly!
However, it is an MFC with a scanner. The scanner seems to be detected now, but I get an error message "Failed to open device 'brother:bus4;dev1':Invalid argument." Any suggestions?
Also does not explain why usb printer was automatically detected, setup, and operates in Xubuntu 11.10 without kernel update.
