I've just installed Arch on my spare machine to see what the Linux world is doing these days. I use FreeBSD for my main work platform. I'm really impressed with the whole Arch Linux way of doing things, including the great performance.
However, Linux and the BSD's are so close in the way things are done at system level, yet so different, I'm having trouble with some hardware installs, so I'm taking things in careful baby steps to get to success. If someone could get me to the next step I'd be grateful:
Problem:
Installing an HP 3845 usb printer using the hpijs/cups route, as detailed in the Wiki yielded the following results:
- hpijs docs led me to the HP site compatibility list, whiich suggested I use the hplip driver instead.
- after installing the above, and also CUPS, it isn't clear where the actual printer device is, or how to access it
- I tried to use the makeurl utility to set the device to /dev/usb/lp0 as in the example, but I get no activity from the printer.
- I've tried 'modprobe usblp' and adding the 'printer' module to the modules array, and checked dmesg output, which tells me that a new usb Printer Device class driver is indeed active after I load the usblp module, but the printer stays quiet.
- CUPS reports no errors, only "printer idle", when I examine jobs at localhost:631 after tring to print a test page
What would be my next baby step?

I have HP deskjet 5150 and I used this order: 1. instal ghostscript and hpijs packages 2. turn on printer 3. modprobe usblp 4. /etc/rc.d/cups start 5. configure cups (mozilla and localhost:631)
