A bit more contextual information...

I have an old laser printer connected via a usb to parallel cable. I have tried reconfiguring the printer, and it seems to find one, but any attempt to write to it hangs with a "printer not connected" message. lsusb finds the parallel cable just fine.

I also have a Canon iP4500 inkjet. It connects and prints OK, but I tried to use "ink" today to read the ink levels, and this hangs. The error message from "ink" indicates it is looking for the old url /dev/usb/lp0.

All this used to work in Natty. Thus it would appear the the changes in Oneiric introduced the regressions.
