Trying to print to a Dymo label printer 400 connected via USB to my Dell 6000 laptop running 7.0-RELEASE.

This used to work on this hardware under an older release of FreeBSD 5.  The printer works on the same hardware if I boot Windows XP.

The symptom is that writing to the USB port times out and returns an error EIO.

I am trying to use CUPS however the problem also appears if you just do:

# echo hello >/dev/ulpt0
su: echo: write error: Input/output error

There is a delay of exactly 10 seconds before the error message is printed.

Here is the output of dmesg with USB_DEBUG set to 999:
