Printer incorrectly identified as a mouse
The printer is a Brother HL-2140. As you can see, my other printer is recognized correctly, but for some reason, the Brother printer is identified as a mouse. This is a headless server, there is no mouse or keyboard attached.
Here is the lsusb output
Bus 007 Device 005: ID 046d:c50d Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
As you can see, the printer is recognized as Logitech, Inc. Cordless Mouse
I have installed all of the cups printer drivers, but the problem remains the same. I have also blacklisted usblp.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow, I'm an idiot. There is such a mess of wires by the printer that I got the mouse cable and the printer cable confused.

Re: Printer incorrectly identified as a mouse
Don't worry. I bought a new monitor after my other one wouldn't work when I got back from overseas. Turned out that the then girlfriend had unplugged it when cleaning.
