cups doesn't see printer
I am using Gentoo with kernel 2.6.7, Fluxbox and a HP 840C DeskJet printer hooked up via usb. The kernel sees the printer:
Code:
tail /var/log/messages
Jun 27 18:08:18 Neo drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Unidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x0604
and can test print fine:
Code:
touch test.txt
echo "Hello World" > test.txt
cat test.txt > /dev/usb/lp0
But cups can't see it when I try to set it up in localhost:631. I have the following modules autoloaded:
Code:
ehci_hcd
uhci_hcd
usbhid
usblp
usbcore
I don't understand why it isn't being seen... Thanks

What do you mean that cups cannot see the printer? You can access localhost:631 to bring up the cups admin page, but your printer is not listed?
So I assume the cups service is started? Have you defined your printer in cups as of yet?

I should be more specific... The printer setup process goes along normally until I have to select the printer from the drop-down box (ex USB printer #1, USB printer #2, etc). Before it would show something like "HP 840C- USB printer #1." Doesn't do that now...

Sorry as I took another day off from my pc yesterday to do some of my own work and I guess nobody else knows the solution.
I have no idea myself either. Does Gentoo have a package you need to install to give you the HP printer drivers for CUPS?

Yes, the program I have/need is called hpijs. Still working on it the problem... its an odd 'un.

Try just defining USB printer #1 anyway, it may simply be not displaying the name, but it may work fine.

I noticed that my machine spits out "lp: drivers loaded but device not found" during boot.
