Glad to hear that you found a way to get it working.
Of course it was not my glorious YaST printer module ;-)
because it uses no '-' in the queue name at all because
a '-' in the queue name is simply not allowed, see
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/sam.html#4_1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Each printer queue has a name associated with it;
the printer name must start with any printable character
except " ", "/", and "@". It can contain up to 127 letters,
numbers, and the underscore (_). Case is not significant,
e.g. "PRINTER", "Printer", and "printer" are considered
to be the same name.
---------------------------------------------------------------
E.g. a YaST printer module default setup
of my HP LaserJet 1220 results "hplaserjet1220"
(i.e. by default only lowercase letters and numbers)
and you get a nice "Invalid Queue Name" popup if
you try to manually specify a queue-name with a '-'.
But we have various other printer setup tools like
- KDE printer setup tool
- Gnome printer setup tool (system-config-printer)
- CUPS web frontend
- HP's HPLIP driver setup tool "hp-setup"
- some obscure automated working printer set-up tools
If you could find out which printer setup tool
makes queue names with forbidden charactes,
please file a bug report and include me in CC
(or use the component "Printing").
By the way:
I don't think it is the invalid queue name which lets
the udev stuff fail here because udev is not interested
in print queue names at all.
The actual root cause was something else - a more low-level
reason is needed to let the udev stuff fail.
