In this particular case there is a device URI "usb://Xerox/Phaser%206280DN" and then one can use it to set up a print queue manually via the "lpadmin" command as described in the section regarding "How to set up a print queue in full compliance with CUPS" in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell In contrast when the CUPS "usb" backend does not detect a device URI for a USB printer which is actually accessible via /dev/usb/lp0 the probably best workaround for now is to use a selfmade "careless backend for a single USB printer" as described in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Backends_to_Print_with_CUPS Finally: If a printer is not accessible at all, it is useless to set up a print queue for it, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_a_Printer -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
