Can't find printer after removing it.

Hello,

I happen to have an HP LaserJet M1132 MFP, which was working pretty well until recently it started sending that "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" error described in the wiki. I did have dbus running, I tried running avahi-daemon, but no use. So after googling up the problem, I found out that people had the issue solved after removing and installing the printer again.

Well, I removed the printer via CUPS web interface, and tried to install it again via hp-setup, but this time the printer is not recognized! dbus is running fine, so does cups. lsusb does seem to recognize the printer:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:042a Hewlett-Packard

Trying to manually feed the device id to hp-setup completely freezes it (and even pkilling it won't remove the window after that).

dmesg find it too:

[  554.981309] usb 1-1.1: new high speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
[  555.066090] scsi7 : usb-storage 1-1.1:1.0

I had it installed before with no problems.

Anyone can help me to get my printer installed and working again?
