Hi, Do you have usblp module loaded (modprobe usblp)? Thanks for replying. No it wasn't loaded. To try, I manually modprobe'd usblp, then unplugged and plugged in the printer again. The kernel log is below, followed by the output of hp-probe, which hasn't changed, unfortunately. The usblp module clearly recognizes the printer, so it seems like the issues are elsewhere. First, why doesn't usblp automatically get invoked? Second, why is hp-probe ignoring my printer?

Basic help with HP5440 ink?
Hi, all. I bought an HP 5440 based on the recommendations of linuxprinting.org. So far I've had no success getting the printer to work, though. At the moment, I suspect something at the USB level. This is on etch testing as of today. When I plug the printer in, I see the following in kernel.log: Feb 13 23:31:16 smaug kernel: usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3 Feb 13 23:31:19 smaug kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 Something is showing up on USB. I already have cups and can print to a network postscript laser printer from the same machine, so the basics of cups are OK. Based on what I can discover, I've installed: hplips hpijs hplip-ppds foomatic-db-hpijs When I try to create a cups printer queue for the HP, the only URI offered of type hp: is hp:/no_device_found, which isn't so useful and doesn't work, of course. There's a tool called hp-probe which seems to be designed for locating printers. When I run it with debug logging, I get the following: smaug:~# hp-probe --logging=debug -busb HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 0.9.7) Device Detection (Probe) Utility ver. 1.3 Copyright (c) 2003-5 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
