This bug prevents printers from working when using teh NetMos Technology 9835 controller.  This commit will also be reverted in upstream Mainline and Stable:

No, I don't think the revert will be available on-time from the stable
kernels.  3.8 kernel (for Raring) is still under review and I don't
think it already includes this revert (kamal?); and 3.5 (for Quantal)
will probably be released later in the week.
