I had installed F10 x86_64 last week. When I went to print,
the printer it had set up didn't work (hplip something). So
I went into System->Administration->Printers. I selected
New. It gave a list of devices I could use. I selected my
printer from the list. It then gave me a list of drivers
for my printer and I chose the recommended foomatic one and
everything worked after that. Why it didn't do that
automatically, I don't know, but it works now. I deleted
the originally assigned printer.
