It bisected down to this:
commit a2582bd478c13c574d4c16ef1209d333f2a25935 Author: Russ Dill <russ.dill@gmail.com> Date: Wed Nov 18 11:02:13 2009 -0700
USB: Close usb_find_interface race
USB drivers that create character devices call usb_register_dev in their probe function. This associates the usb_interface device with that minor number and creates the character device and announces it to the world. However, the driver's probe function is called before the new usb_interface is added to the driver's klist_devices. ...
and what's even scarier is that that commit is marked for stable too. Did it already make it?
I'll double-check by reverting it from current -tip, but if you don't hear anything different from me, you can assume that that double-check succeeded and confirms that that commit really is the cause of my printer no longer working.
