Hi
Well it doesn't seem to hang anymore under debian jessie
I guess I will not find a way to make it work while it seems that there's no driver for this printer
sorry for the noise

  Everytime I try to use usb port on /dev/usb/lp0
  with usb_printerid or /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
  The usb connections starts hanging, with in dmesg :

  [ 4733.189816] usblp0: removed
  [ 4733.195557] usblp: can't set desired altsetting 0 on interface 0

  [ 4734.899038] usblp0: removed

  but obtaining "Unknow printer"

  so I tried with this script to go further without identification :

  # cat /usr/lib/cups/backend/usblp0
  #! /bin/bash
  # Have debug info in /var/log/cups/error_log:
  set -x
  # Output "device discovery" information on stdout:
  if test "$#" = "0"
  then echo 'direct usblp0:/dev/usb/lp0 "Unknown" "any USB printer"'
       exit 0
  fi
  # Have the input at fd0 (stdin) in any case:
  if test -n "$6"
  then exec <"$6"
  fi
  # Infinite retries to access the device file:
  until cat /dev/null >/dev/usb/lp0
  do echo 'INFO: cannot access /dev/usb/lp0 - retry in 30 seconds' 1>&2
     sleep 30
  done
  echo 'INFO: sending data to /dev/usb/lp0' 1>&2
  # Forward the data from stdin to the device file:
  if cat - >/dev/usb/lp0
  then echo 'INFO:' 1>&2
       exit 0
  else echo 'ERROR: failed to send data to /dev/usb/lp0' 1>&2
       exit 1
  fi

  Configured with the "Sharp AR-M207 PS Foomatic/Postscript "
  been told by a Sharp technician that it could be a similar "driver" for it

  but no chance, trying to print directly on /dev/usb/lp0 gives no
  page...

  I also tried to blacklist the usblp module, but have seen no effect

  I write a bug here, because I think it could be similar to bug #997040

  PS: It's for a school : need help to free people
