[SOLVED] CUPS won't talk to Epson Stylus CX3200 printer

Hi, (first post woo!)

I've tried to install CUPS as per the Arch Linux wiki for use with an Epson Stylus CX3200 (scanner and printer, but of course only the printer matters to me at the moment). I've set up udev rules to chown/chmod the printer USB device correctly, blacklisted the usblp module, and installed gutenprint and foomatic packages, and yet the printer does not show up on CUPS's detected printer list.

/var/messages output doesn't sound overly healthy:

Dec  6 19:16:43 ryujin kernel: usb 7-1: USB disconnect, address 2
Dec  6 19:16:44 ryujin kernel: usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4

Finally, CUPS's error log (the printer find error was from trying to use system-config-printer):

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [SOLVED] CUPS won't talk to Epson Stylus CX3200 printer

Tried a different printer, an Epson Stylus Photo R300. This too is not detected.

EDIT: Finally solved. Oddly enough, the thing that was causing neither printer to be detected was usblp being blacklisted - modprobing it back in caused both printers to work! I'll be noting this on the Wiki page, as the Wiki's guideline for blacklisting usblp actually caused the problem here =P
