When MEPIS 3.3.1 is working under kernel 2.6.10, the "usblp" module is NOT loaded by default. This can prevent the USB printer from being properly detected and set up.
Go to /etc/modules and write there on a separate line:
usblp
Close the file and reboot. Your printer will be detected.
BTW, under kernel 2.4.29 this module is loaded OK.
