-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sigh... yes, it's Yet Another Post about CUPS. Or perhaps it's a post about USB; I'm not sure.
I just bought a deskjet 920C and spent several unhappy hours trying to install it on a USB port. Rather than trying to list everything that I've done and that has failed, here's just one example. Maybe someone can offer some advice before I throw in the towel and take the thing back to the store. Incidentally, when I asked in general about USB printers a while back, I had several personal responses all basically saying "no problem, it all works fine". So I'm hoping that this is something easy and I've just forgotten to do some fundamental thing. So, here's what happens when I try the kups tool: 1. I click on Printer | Add printer/class 2. I click on "local printer (parallel, serial, USB) 3. I click on "USB ports" I get a windows saying "You must select a port/printer". It's as if the system doesn't know that I have the printer plugged into one of the USB ports. I freely admit that I have never understood USB ports under Linux. Maybe I have to do something to make the port active? Anyway, that's where I am.... Other ways of trying to add the printer (i.e., using tools other than kups) seem to fail at the same point. Nothing seems to recognise that I have a powered-up printer sitting plugged into the USB port.
