HPLIP's "hp" backend is required for HP all-in-one devices. Even for plain HP printers the "hp" backend should be used because it provides the functionality which is needed so that HPLIP's "hp-toolbox" can show the device status. Both backends detect the device: -------------------------------------------------------------- # /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb direct usb://HP/LaserJet%201220 "HP LaserJet 1220" "HP LaserJet 1220" "MFG:Hewlett-Packard;CMD:PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT;MDL:HP LaserJet 1220;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 1220;MEM:8MB" "" # /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp direct hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_1220?serial=00XXXXXXXXXX "HP LaserJet 1220" "HP LaserJet 1220 USB 00XXXXXXXXXX HPLIP" "MFG:HewLett Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet 1220;CLS:PRINTER;DES:HP LaserJet 1220;SN:00XXXXXXXXXX;" -------------------------------------------------------------- so that I don't see a reason why not the "hp:/..." device URI is used by udev-configure-printer. Furthermore, when I set up a second print queue using YaST or hp-setup with the "hp:/..." device URI the udev-configure-printer queue does no longer work because of what is described in bug #184825 The PPD file is "HP/LaserJet_1220-lj4dith.ppd.gz" which runs the Ghostscript driver "lj4dith" which provides only basic printout quality compared to PostScript (the HP LaserJet 1220 is a native PostScript printer). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
