Please check the USB-ids, if it is incorrect network scanning will work
(as long as the device id is unique) as the network code gets the
device-id from the definition in mp150.c where it does the lookup by the
name of the device read over the ethernet connection. For USB it works
the other way round....SO if the the id is incorrect network scanning
will work, while usb scanning fails
