No match for USB device: mfr "Hewlett-Packard" model "HP LaserJet 2200"

Description of problem: I get the following when autodetecting my printer using "Rescan devices" in system-config-printer: No match for USB device: mfr "Hewlett-Packard" model "HP LaserJet 2200" desc "Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 2200" cmdset "PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT"Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzillaChoose 'foomatic' as the component. However there is definitely a LaserJet 2200 listed under "HP" in the "Printer driver" tab. I also have problems with the printer periodically saying it is not ready to print (that /dev/usb/lp1 cannot be found). (I have an HP DeskJet on lp0.) Re-running system-config-printer, re-scanning the devices and/or re-selecting the driver seems to always fix the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.1-9 How reproducible: Most times I boot my machine, occasionally after one successful print run.
Actually, now that I think about it, I sometimes need to switch the printer to use /dev/usb/lp0 (which it is not hooked to) then back to /dev/usb/lp1 to fix the problem. Curiously, even after switching the printer to /dev/usb/lp0, the same error state is displayed: 'Unable to open USB device "usb:/dev/usb/lp1"', which is the old device. Switching it back again to lp1 sometimes works, but has actually hung cups a couple of times.
Added this autodetect information to CVS. Thanks.
