Hey all,

I'm trying to setup a USB printer in RHEL5 Server 10/27 refresh using the 
configuration steps described at http://free.linux.hp.com/~mra/docs/ but I'm 
not being able to.

I did the following:

# lpadmin -p Printer1 -E -v usb://Lexmark/T630 -m postscript.ppd.gz
# lpadmin -p Printer2 -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -m postscript.ppd.gz

Where /dev/usb/lp0 is the device the Lexmark is connected to.

Ok, then I try to print in Permissive:

# lpr -P Printer1 mytestpage.ps
Nothing happens

# lpstat-p
printer Printer1 is idle.  enabled since Mon 06 Nov 2006 08:29:03 AM CST
        /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops failed
(...)

# lpr -P Printer2 mytestpage.ps
Nothing happens

# lpstat -p
(...)
printer Printer2 is idle.  enabled since Mon 06 Nov 2006 08:30:52 AM CST
        /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops failed

In Enforcing same happens to Printer1. For Printer2, lpr returns
"lpr: SELinux prohibits access to the printer" what should be because the /dev 
URI is deprecated, anyway Printer1 doesn't work either so that's not the 
problem.

>From the other threads seems there's still some development going on, is that 
right? Is this a (known) bug?

Thanks,
