I tried setting up a new printer, R220-test, with the URI as suggested. Otherwise, same driver, etc. It worked, I made it default, printed again, then suspended.
When I came back from suspend, the old Stylus-R220 definition was working fine and the new default R220-test was "unplugged" ! $lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Running that command did not make R220-test become functional. I then made the old Stylus-220 definition the default again, and re- suspended. Then both R220-test and Stylus-R220 come up as "unplugged". lsusb shows nothing on Bus001 or 002. But just running that command makes both R220-test and Stylus-R220 work. $lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Color me totally puzzled.
