So far no change. I edited or added those files (no problem) and rebooted and reconnected the printer. Command 'lsusb' shows the device but HPLIP gives the same communication errors. I deleted the printer and reinstalled it by manually specifying the USB bus and device numbers, and it added the computer along with its .ppd file, but no change.
While you think it over (to my great gratitude) I'll try a long shot: running SIUtility.exe in Wine. I don't think it will work because HPInstall in Wine didn't see the printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813482 Title: HP Printers with "Smart Installer" are recognized as CD-ROM drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/813482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
