usb printer problem

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I have a HP 1015 usb printer and it works fine except that I have very often to
reconfigure it: from time to time this printer works no more; a "lpq" command
return this message: "printer is not ready" and I have to re-install it. Today,
I am unable to reinstall it: I got always this message: "unable to open
/dev/usb/lp0 no such device"

I caught in the log the messages before the "catastroph":

Jul 31 12:22:49 krishna kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.2-1,
assigned address 2
Jul 31 12:22:49 krishna kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod
0x3f0/0xe17) is not claimed by any active driver.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what is the meaning of this it happens every
time?

Class driver
Jul 31 12:23:04 krishna devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted

At that time the printer is working

Two minutes and 30 seconds later:

And now no more printer, and I am unable to reinstall it: here are the messages
if I use the printtool:
