Is your printer connected via USB? I had a similar problem with my old
paralllel port printer connected via a USB->Centronics adapter. Finally
the USB printer was visible after I sent some data to the printer with
this command:
sudo -u cupsys sh -c 'echo -e "Hello world!\f" >/dev/usblp0
Then I could install the printer and now everything works like expected.
