I've stuck an HP LaserJet 1018 onto a debian stable box. Printer only has usb connection. However, hp-probe says there are no devices found, and lsusb agrees with this.
Does dmesg say anything about the printer being plugged in? If not then can you see the printer appear on the usb bus if you boot the machine from a linux live cd with a different kernel version or something? Also, have you checked and swapped cables for known good ones and used the same usb ports for both tests? I'll admit i'm a bit stumped too.
