Part of the problem is apparently fixed, and it _is_ a udev rule--a local one I had constructed for use with autofs. I was looking for a way to directly access camera cards in the reader found on the Epson printer. Either it's not specific enough, or they aren't separable. At this point, though, eliminating the rule suddenly allowed CUPS to properly see the Epson's location (usb vs. parallel). I have not tried to reinstate the rule, now that the printer definition has been created. That should be interesting, since the system was working before when I first generated the udev/autofs combination. CUPS died much later... The HP still eludes CUPS, though.
