Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29050 Comment: The problem is ownership of /dev/usblp0 as it is assigned to scanner group. Change that to lp and voila. Run: sudo chown root:lp /dev/usblp0 After that lpinfo -v should recognize it. I have DX3850 on USB and have just printed test page :) Have fun.
