Re: Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds

I have this problem CHRONICALLY on an HP1300 Laser Jet.  For me, the
only fix is to completely power down and unplug the printer for at
least 5 minutes, then power down the computer, then turn on the
printer and restart the computer.   I've asked a lot of people about
it.    The computer loses track of which device it is using, something
due to  hal or cups or udev upgrade without a restart.  The usb
subsystem is not very nimble, and sometimes it gets "stuck" in a state
that does not match a newly installed hal or cups or something.

If you have that same problem I do, you will know it if you do
system-config-printer and say you want a new printer, and it will list
several devices, all of which are related to your usb plugged in
printer.  Before the new system-config-printer came out, I used to see
like

/dev/usb0
/dev/hal-hp1300
/dev/lp0

all of which seemed to point at the same device, and it was never
consistent which one I was supposed to use.

Now, with new s-c-p, I see several variants of the HP 1300.   I don't
know why it lists several, because there is only 1 printer, but there
is a verbose list like

HP 1300 Laser Jet

and a more terse looking one like

hp1300 laser
