Paul 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.
