I think, it was more the copy and paste from the shell; should have included 
the file instead.

I´ll gladly do that best I can, but might need some help what to do. In the 
following is what I found so far.

Two straces of the usb backend. First one that worked ok (some seconds after 
pluuging the printer in):

[...]
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
open("/dev/usblp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/usb/lp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
ioctl(0x3, 0x84005001, 0xbfd67cd1)      = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 2), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0xb7fd4000
write(1, "direct usb://Kyocera/FS-820 \"Kyo"..., 161direct 
usb://Kyocera/FS-820 "Kyocera FS-820" "Kyocera FS-820 USB 
#1" "ID:FS-820;MFG:Kyocera;CMD:PCLXL,PCL5E,PJL;MDL:FS-820;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Kyocera 
Mita FS-820;"
) = 161
close(3)                                = 0
open("/dev/usblp1", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
[...]

the ususal case (does not work):

[...]
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
open("/dev/usblp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/usb/lp0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
ioctl(0x3, 0x84005001, 0xbfc397b1)      = -1 (errno 5)
close(3)                                = 0
open("/dev/usblp1", O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
[...]

Here a piece of the kernel messages with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y (started the usb 
backend two times, reading printer ID does not work):

[...]
Dec 21 18:48:17 heinrich usb 3-5.4: usb timed out on ep0in len=0/1023
Dec 21 18:48:37 heinrich usb 3-5.4: usb timed out on ep0in len=0/1023
[...]

yes, that´s all with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG.

Then, there are syslog messages with "#define DEBUG" in usblp.c:

After plugging in the printer:
[...]

[So far, so good. I then call the usb backend to read the printer ID]:

Dec 21 19:56:18 heinrich drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp_ioctl: 
cmd=0x84005001 (P nr=1 len=1024 dir=2)

Dec 21 19:56:23 heinrich drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: error = -110 
reading IEEE-1284 Device ID string
[...]

This is what I know until know. What can I do next? Learning about usbmon?

Thanks for hints.
