FWIW, the CUPS libusb-based backend only sets the alt setting if there is more than 1 alt setting in the descriptor.

Jeremy, thanks for the patch. It looks mostly fine code-wise (quirk is
out of numerical order), but I have a question: did you consider keying
off usblp->dev->quirks instead?

How about this:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/class/usblp.c b/drivers/usb/class/usblp.c
index 37062130a03c..0c4a98f00797 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/class/usblp.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/class/usblp.c
@@ -1315,7 +1315,11 @@ static int usblp_set_protocol(struct usblp *usblp, int protocol)
	alts = usblp->protocol[protocol].alt_setting;
	if (alts < 0)
		return -EINVAL;
-	r = usb_set_interface(usblp->dev, usblp->ifnum, alts);
+	if (usblp->dev->quirks & USB_QUIRK_NO_SET_INTF) {
+		r = 0;
+	} else {
+		r = usb_set_interface(usblp->dev, usblp->ifnum, alts);
+	}
	if (r < 0) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "usblp: can't set desired altsetting %d on interface %d\n",
			alts, usblp->ifnum);

Would it be practical simply to skip the usb_set_interface() call
whenever alts is 0?  After all, devices use altsetting 0 by default; it
shouldn't be necessary to tell them to do so.

Pete, your proposed change does work. I created USBLP_QUIRK_NO_SET_INTF because I was concerned about overloading the meaning of USB_QUIRK_NO_SET_INTF, but if you think that's the better approach, I'm happy to resubmit the patch.

Alan, just to confirm, alts=0 for this device.
