usb printer rejects incoming data

Hello all,

Recently I upgraded to the latest RELENG_8 and rebuilt world.
Now I'm having strange problems with my USB printer (Samsung CLP 315).
Digging into it these last days, I found that it seems to refuse
incoming data via USB port.
I'm using foo2qpdl filter and it generates a standard QPDL stream for that
printer, the problem occurs when I try to feed that data to the printer.
Here is some details about my environment:

>sudo cat tiger.qpdl > /dev/usb/4.3.0
cat: stdout: Input/output error

I'm sure this file tiger.qpdl contains the data needed, I created it
from /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.64/examples/tiger.eps using gs + foo2qpdl
and tested on another PC.

Any ideas?

WBR, Alex
