Hi Till, I am able to reproduce the problem with a system installed with today's alt image (20090403) and a brother HL5250-DN; usb_printer /dev/usb/lp0 reports:
GET_DEVICE_ID string: MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT;MDL:HL-5250DN series;CLS:PRINTER; If I plug in the printer via usb and let the autodetection set up the print queue, printing via the usb:// device URI fails as described by the above (Printer 'HL-5250-DN-series' May Not Be Connected). However, if I then go into the printer admin configuration, delete the printer, re-add it, and print via the usb:// device URI, it prints.
