Michael Werner,
as root run
/usr/lib*/cups/backend/usb
and
/usr/lib*/cups/backend/hp
and post the output here.
David,
in an older y2log file which I got via the older bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392107#c4
which is for openSUSE 11.0 (where we had CUPS 1.2) I found:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Probed printers: ... "modules":[["usblp" ... "model":"6540"
"sub_device":"Deskjet 6500", "sub_vendor":"HP" ... "vendor":"HP"
..
USB backend for device /dev/usb/lp0 detected
["//HP/Deskjet%206500?serial=MY47F2R23M040N", "HP Deskjet 6500"]
..
"uri":"usb://HP/Deskjet%206500?serial=MY47F2R23M040N"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
so that at least the generic CUPS backend "usb" in CUPS 1.2
did detect such a printer as "HP Deskjet 6500".
But I don't have any information how the "hp" backend
would detect such a model.
The new YaST printer module since openSUSE 11.1, see
http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Printer_Enhancement
prefers the "hp" backend (the "usb" bakend is still
available in YaST via the [More Connections] button)
so that the crucial question is what the "hp" backend reports.
