The first two failures are normal, which just means hplip was not currently running (may not have been installed). > Note: Any CUPS queues that are not 'HPLIP Installed', must be > installed with the 'hp:' or 'hpfax:' backends to have them work in > HPLIP. Refer to the install instructions on http://hplip.sourceforge.net for more help. Here what this means is you must select the hp backend. This is the Device URI. When you are selecting the device I/O connection, select the one with hp: (the one with the device serial number in it) and not the system default of usb: > > Printe Device URI HPLIP Installed? > r > ------ ---------------- -------------------- > hp6980 usb:/dev/usb/lp0 No -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Albright, Aaron Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 1:56 PM To: Yevgeny V. Mospan Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hplip-help] hplip doesn't work Yevgeny, I'm sorry you are having this experience with HPLIP. You will want to review the install docs at: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/step2/fc4.html You are most likely having troubles because SELinux is enabled. Please disable SELinux, run "/etc/init.d/hplip restart" delete your printer from CUPS, and then re-run hp-setup. Thanks. A Yevgeny V.
