I have debug, in udev.conf, set to yes. Udev does not care or ask the printer anything, it just reflects the kernel's state. What device node name do you expect to appear? What does "udevmonitor" print, while connecting the printer? What does "dmesg" tell about the printer after it was connected? What does "lsusb -v" tell about the printer?
