Have you tried removing all instances of your printer, down to zero, and running printerdrake again?
I did this at one point. It might help - I've seen it suggested before.
Turns out there must be a bug somewhere in the setup software, because, my usb printer is detected right enough as /dev/usb/lp0 but if you don't watch out very carefully indeed it is written up as /dev/usb/lp1 which is wrong. This is in auto detect . But even in manual it will not accept the correct /dev/usb/lp0 without substancial fidling about , but eventually I did get it set up as being on /dev/usb/lp0.
I think it's dot actually every case, sometimes it seems to detect and set it up correctly, sometimes it mucks it up.It's hard to replicate the circumstances when it does it right and when it does it wrong. But I think there is a problem with the reliability of the detection and setting up.
For the moment it's working.Have no reason to think it will not go on working.
