IIRC, this should be handled throught callouts in /etc/hal/capability.d,
right? I'm thinking

 1. usb bus device hotplug event, callout in device.d for usb device,
    then announce through dbus

 2. usblp class device hotplug event, merge onto usb device, callout in
    capability.d for usb device (now with printer.* properties), and
    then announce through dbus

Wouldn't this solve the problem?

Cheers,
David
