no /dev entry for printer when it is out of ink

[Mike <mike@kordik.net>]

My printer has been working fine but now udev won't create a /dev entry 
for it. I have used usbview, udevinfo, I have looked in the logs. 
Everything says the printer is connected. The only thing I can think of 
is that the printer is returning some sort of status to udev and it 
decides not to create the node. I have a 4 color printer and I need the 
/dev entry so escputil can connect and tell me which ink needs to be 
replaced.

Assuming that this is a problem with udev not creating the node because 
it is getting an error from the printer, I could solve this by replacing 
all the inks.

The log doesn't have any udev messages to tell me it is not creating the 
node yet there is no /dev entry. I have debug, in udev.conf, set to yes.

Any ideas?

Thanks
