udev will not automate a prompt for printers, you need to go to the menu and
select Applications/System Settings/Printing. then you will have to enter the
root password at the prompt and click on the "New" button to start the new
printer wizard which will/should recognize your printer. you may want to check
out "linuxprinting.org" to make sure that your printer works, what driver to
use, how to configure for best results, etc.

I tried the wizard and looked at
linuxprinting.org. The wizard did not
see the usb printer only /dev/lp0 and ptal. I tried the instructions on
linuxprinting.org and went through the CUPS wizard but I do not know
what usb device the printer is attached to. How can I find out what
device it is?
