I also experience this bug with a Brother HL-1430.
The problem seems indeed the USB backend, which shows the following
output when called (as root) when the printer is in sleep mode:
direct usb://HP/Photosmart%20Pro%20B8300%20series?serial=MY674110HQ04SQ
"HP Photosmart Pro B8300 series" "HP Photosmart Pro B8300 series USB
#2" "MFG:HP;MDL:Photosmart Pro B8300
series;CMD:MLC,PCL,PML,DESKJET,DW-PCL,DYN;CLS:PRINTER;DES:B8350;SN:MY674110HQ04SQ;S:0380908084001043002c1800020c2880012;Z:030,0503c289013ec9;"

It seems to me that only the other connected printer (a HP Photosmart)
is reported.

I can't post now the output with the Brother on, as I'm not physically
next to it, so I can't disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, which
always solves the issue.

The cupsys I have is:
ii  cupsys                   1.2.7-4etch2
Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii  cupsys-bsd               1.2.7-4etch2
Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman
ii  cupsys-client            1.2.7-4etch2
Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro
ii  cupsys-common            1.2.7-4etch2
Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - common fil

I can't upgrade to higher as this is a produciton server and we only
run pure stable over there, so moving to testing or unstable to see if
the bug is solved is not an option, unfortunately.

Do you have any suggestion?

Bye,
Fabio
