This is quite possibly a repeat of a cups bug I noticed in 11.3 and still
exists in 11.4.
My symptom was cups not being able to add a Xerox Phaser 6280 as a
USB-connected device. The cups error log complained:
[cups-deviced] Bad line from "usb": direct usb://Xerox/Phaser%206280DN "Xerox
Phaser 6280DN" "Xerox Phaser 6280DN" "MFG:Xerox;CMD:Adobe PostScript 3,
PCL;MDL:Phaser 6280DN;DES:Xerox Phaser 6280 Color Laser Printer, PostScript 3,
Letter/A4
Size;CLS:PRINTER;STS:AAARAQD/AP8AAAAAAQgAATwDPAM8AwUGZANkM2IaAAAAALCGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Folks on the ubuntu list isolated the issue as the printer including a new-line
character in it's USB identification string and is discussed here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/468701
The workaround for me was to manually add the uri of the printer in the cups
connection wizard thusly: parallel:/dev/usb/lp0
This could be a show-stopper for most casual users.
