Comment # 101 on bug 920937 from Johannes Meixner

Ian Powell

what results (as root) this command:

for i in $( seq 3 ) ; do echo $i ; /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb ; done

versus that command (all on one single command line):

for i in $( seq 3 ) ; do echo $i ; ./usbreset /dev/bus/usb/001/005
 ; /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb ; done

(replace /dev/bus/usb/001/005 with the currently right value
 according to your "lsusb" output).
