On my openSUSE Tumbleweed system where it had worked ((cf. comment#13) I installed with YaST the "AppArmor" software pattern and now (without any further changes) it does no longer work as before: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb DEBUG: Loading USB quirks from "/usr/share/cups/usb". DEBUG: Loaded 72 quirks. DEBUG: list_devices DEBUG: libusb_get_device_list=2 DEBUG2: Printer found with device ID: Device URI: usb://Unknown/Printer?serial=W69P10611212214330&interface=1 direct usb://Unknown/Printer?serial=W69P10611212214330&interface=1 "Unknown" "Unknown" "" "" # lpinfo --include-schemes usb -v direct usb://Unknown/Printer?serial=W69P10611212214330&interface=1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This shows that the AppArmor packages do make a difference.
