I will try to provide as much detail as possible, but not sure what else might be needed. Hardware wise, it's a Dell Inspiron 300m (usb works fine as I am using other usb devices. lspci reveals the following; 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0150 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 I/O ports at 1840 [size=32] 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0150 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 I/O ports at 1860 [size=32] 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0150 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at e0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 (one side is a double used for CD, the other side is a single (not sure if it matters ) ) if I tail -f the messages file after I plug in the printer I get "Sep 27 09:01:45 vader kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Sep 27 09:01:47 vader kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: Disabling reads from problem bidirectional printer on usblp0 Sep 27 09:01:47 vader kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Unidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x0104 Sep 27 09:01:47 vader kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usblp Sep 27 09:01:47 vader kernel: drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver" print-conf gui show the queue, if I send a CUPS test print, say no that nothing comes out, I get this Sep/2005:09:03:22 -0400] Adding start banner page "none" to job 2.

I [27/Sep/2005:09:03:24 -0400] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more. Didn't see where that option is in the printer / printer queue settings and I get no output, and it looks like nothing ever gets into the queue. The Queue type says locally connected and the device is set at /dev/usb/lp0 The printer is an HP 880C and using the default FC drivers. As always, all replies are appreciated.
