It helps a lot to better understand how by default enabled "nice to have" stuff could make things completely fail in this or that unusual case. My guess in this case here with a HP USB printer that needs firmware upload is that udev-configure-printer interferes with the firmware upload which lets things completely fail. Regarding automated printer setup in general see the section "Automated Printer Configuration" in https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer FWIW: On my systems with a USB printer I remove udev-configure-printer because I prefer my personal manual static setup over automatisms. Martin Wilck, FYI see in particular https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151174#c2 This issue here is yet another example where automated actions when pug-in a USB printer (here what udev-configure-printer does) could cause more harm than good in some cases. Since udev-configure-printer exists it is known to sometimes cause weird inexplicable issues in this or that case. It seems in general HP USB printers that need firmware upload behave somewhat fragile during their startup phase. For my own experience a longer time ago with that kind of devices see https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/187049 therein see in particular comment #3 for my I experience with a HP printer that needs firmware upload which behaved very fragile during its startup phase. What worked most reliably for me was manual firmware upload. When firmware upload was succesful those HP USB printers work as reliable as normal USB printers do according to my experience. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
