I have a similar problem and tried:

root%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/root # drvctl -l uhub5
uhub5 ulpt0
uhub5 uhub8
root%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/root # drvctl -s uhub5
drvctl: unknown option -- s
Usage: drvctl -r [-a attribute] busdevice [locator ...]
      drvctl -d device
      drvctl [-nt] -l [device]
      drvctl [-n] -p device [prop]
      drvctl -Q device
      drvctl -R device
      drvctl -S device
root%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/root #

Is the switch you are suggesting a typo?
Or am I using the command incorrectly?

Ooppss!  My bad.  The suggested command should be

        drvctl -r <device>

to rescan.

You may have to use /dev/usb# rather than uhub5. Check your console log to see which usb bus your printer eventually attached.
