I followed your suggestion:
without printer:
dirk at pcblue:~$ lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

with printer:
dirk at pcblue:~$ lsusb
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04e8:3908 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

What should I do to use the ID
043d:007c
you mentioned?

Thanks,
