Bug 8606

Just FYI, I've reproduced this without madwifi and the nvidia kernel module, in
case you were wondering.

Please compile your kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_USB and provide the log.

Disabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND fixes this.

What is the device and vendor id for this printer?  Can you attach the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices so we can blacklist this printer?

Created attachment 12715 [details]
/proc/bus/usb/devices containing that printer's data

Here's the VID/PID:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04e8:326c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd 

This should be fixed by commit f095137e799ddb6a7c2bf0e4c73cda193ab9df41.

Can you confirm it's fixed in 2.6.23-rc6?
