Quite so. The docs all say that too. I was clutching at straws.

OK, checked all those, but still no printer. The one dmesg entry is:
usb 3-5.1: new full-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd
I wonder whether I have USB support right in the kernel. I have checked, but
nothing leaps out at me. [1]

It doesn't show anything. Apparently the printer is just not there, except
for its USB interface.
1. I tried setting CONFIG_USB_ANNOUNCE_NEW_DEVICES=y, and a few other
things (diff attached), and now I get more info in dmesg:
[ 91.472049] usb 3-5.1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
[ 91.561360] usb 3-5.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0482,
idProduct=000e
[ 91.561363] usb 3-5.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[ 91.561364] usb 3-5.1: Product: Kyocera Mita FS-1020D
[ 91.561366] usb 3-5.1: Manufacturer: Kyocera Mita
[ 91.561367] usb 3-5.1: SerialNumber: XAX5X26731
So the printer is definitely there; I just need more splinters under my
fingernails.
