new usb quirk: no-alt-set - won't even try libusb_set_configuration or libusb_set_interface_alt_setting I noticed that sometimes garbage is printed with my Samsung ProXpress M3870FD, this happens most often if the printer has gone to sleep (after 1 min by default). So if I print something 10 times, I get garbage 3-4 times. After month of investigating I found that Samsung devices don't like libusb_set_configuration or libusb_set_interface_alt_setting.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Generally good, let's just remove the extra debug printfs since the important thing to know is whether we set the configuration, not that we didn't.
