With a May 30 kernel I have no problems with my HP Deskjet 895Cxi.
Perhaps it depends on a certain chipset or printer...

uhci0 at pci0:7:2: class=0x0c0300 card=0x12340925 chip=0x30381106 rev=0x16 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (All VIA Chipsets)'
    class    = serial bus
    subclass = USB

Bye,
Alexander.
