Kernel won't load module for Epson Stylus CX4200

Hi,

I'm having an odd problem trying to set my printer up. I've blacklisted usblp but when I plug the printer in as suggested by the wiki, I get the following output from /var/log/messages.log:

Oct 29 14:33:46 acer232 kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
Oct 29 14:33:46 acer232 kernel: usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Oct 29 14:33:46 acer232 load-modules.sh: 'usb:v04B8p0820d0100dc00dsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF' is not a valid module or alias name
Oct 29 14:33:46 acer232 load-modules.sh: Not loading module 'usblp' for alias 'usb:v04B8p0820d0100dc00dsc00dp00ic07isc01ip02' because it is blacklisted

I have cups 1.4.1-1, ghostscript 8.70-2, and gsfonts 8.11-5 installed. Cups starts as a daemon and I can get access to the web interface at http://localhost:631/ but the printer does not appear there.

When I run lsusb the scanner component is displayed but not the printer:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 04b8:0820 Seiko Epson Corp. CX4200 MP scanner

I tried putting in a custom udev rule to give lp ownership over the scanner but that isn't changing any of the output above and cups still won't recognize the printer.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks!

It turns out if you delete the /etc/cups/printers.conf file, you can then use the cups web interface at localhost:631 to add the printer again and everything works with cups 1.4.
