There's also a nice graphical tool, usbview, which shows the tree of USB devices currently connected. If not already installed, you can find it on disk1 of MDK9.2.

Dear All

I would like to know how to learn whether the USB connection is working
properly. I have a printer connected to there and it does not work.
Could somebody here please help me?

Thank you a lot in advance!

Open a terminal, become root/su (type "su" then <enter>, enter root password and <enter>) and type "tail -f /var/log/messages".

Then unplug the printer...wath the output there, and plug it in again...and watch the output again. You should be getting messages there followed by -success:)
If in doubt do "service usb restart" and try again.
Good luck,
