[ale] Linux Mint 17 Not Recognizing Printer Device

[Stephen R. Blevins]

I seriously doubt hplip is the root problem.  The more I work with this 
the more I am inclined to think it's a USB problem.  It doesn't seem to 
matter which USB socket I plug it into, it doesn't show up under lsusb, 
or lshw.  I've been having flakey "permission to mount" issues with 
thumbdrives, too.  None of these issues appear on any forum I am 
familiar with.

More suggestions?
