By "no difference" I meant: I tried both with and without the printer
driver loaded, and it behaves exactly the same way.

Also, usbview doesn't cause these timeouts, probably because it does
not ask for the language descriptors (I have a USB-CF adapter which
reports them, lsusb shows them and usbview doesn't).  Now, is there
any way to tell that the printer does (or does not) support getting
them, without actually asking and timing out?

Thanks,
Marek
