hp-probe warning could be clearer

Bug Description

Binary package hint: hplip

The warning for hp-probe returns the following message if a printer is not detected:

warning: No devices found. If this isn't the result you are expecting,
warning: check to make sure your devices are properly connected.

I received this warning when the device was connected but not powered on. I believe the warning would be more clear and helpful for users if it said:

warning: check to make sure your devices are properly connected and powered on.

Can you do the tests described in bug 98520 (2nd posting)? This way we can decide whether we solve this problem bia HPLIP 1.7.3 or by patching HPLIP 1.7.1.

The powered on portion of the hplip 1.7.3 worked well. However, when I print a test page I get a blank piece of paper.
