Hi,
I'm not sure what package this needs filing under for BZ, but when I run
the cups web front end, it is reporting that usb:/dev/usb/lp0 is failing
to open. s-c-p is showing my Deskjet 980cxi happily when setting it up,
but am unable to print.
When I've looked in /dev, there is no usb directory (and therefore no
lp0 either).
Is this a makedev problem, s-c-p or something else?
What does '/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp' say when you run it?
I have a feeling that using libusb to communicate with the device
(which the hp backend does) somehow causes the usblp driver to
unload.
The switch to using libusb happened in HPLIP 0.9.9 -- if you're still
on 0.9.8 that can't be it.
So actually, that's a useful experiment to try: downgrade the 'hplip',
'hpijs' and 'libsane-hpaio' packages to the 0.9.8 packages that came
with FC-5. Reboot, and see what happens.
Tim.
