Public bug reported: 1) I have an HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-In-One printer attached via USB to a desktop running Intrepid. It works very well. I could connect to the desktop from my laptop, also running Intrepid, and print just fine, except for a minor glitch with paper source trays.
I then did a completely new installation of Jaunty Final on the laptop. system-config-printer can find the desktop over the net, but cannot connect to the printer on it. 2) On a third machine, I upgraded an installation of Intrepid to Jaunty Final. I then installed the HP l7780 All-In-One on the machine. When I ran "hp-setup -i" as root, it returned, in part: -------------------------------------------------- Please enter a name for this print queue (m=use model name:'Officejet_Pro_L7700'*, q=quit) ?m Using queue name: Officejet_Pro_L7700 Locating PPD file... Please wait. error: No PPD found for model officejet_pro_l7700. Trying old algorithm... error: No PPD found for model officejet_pro_l7700 using old algorithm. error: Unable to find an appropriate PPD file. -------------------------------------------------- HP reports that HPLIP supports the printer in Jaunty. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip- web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_l7700.html. However, the current version of HPLIP is 3.9.4, while Jaunty has 3.9.2. Running the same command on the Intrepid desktop found the printer and set up a queue.

The discussion in #235148 may be relevant here.
