UPDATE:- I purged everything cups, gutenprint, hal, consolekit and re-compiled On restart the printer is not seen. root [ ~linteg ]# /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v network http direct scsi network lpd network socket network ipp root [ ~linteg ]# root [ ~linteg ]# ls /usr/lib/cups/backend http ipp lpd parallel scsi serial snmp socket usb root [ ~linteg ]# In otherwords the usb backend is not reported by lpinfo. (HAL decides this and missing from the the cups backend is a perl script named 'beh' and an executible called 'hal'. Does anyone jnow the origin of these? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
