The USB case is probably different. For testing, I connected my printer via USB and experimented a bit with it. With `lsusb' I can see the printer, but the hp-setup utility can not find the printer at all, even if I put the Bus and Device number into hp-setup manually. My guess is there is a problem with the USB support in our hplip package. My understanding (but i may be wrong) is that the HP drivers from the hplip package are needed to be able to both print and scan - to only get printing to work, a generic driver may suffice. I'll try to look into the USB support of our hplip package, if/when there is time. I agree with you that printing and scanning should just work - we are not there yet but we will get there eventually 🙂 Best, Lukas
