 - yeah, I guess it's worth checking that level at this stage.


S.Roy, are you ok for that? Can you stop cupsd, make the config-file change, 
start cupsd, go into cups web-admin and set the printer as default, then try a 
single test-print from still-within cups web-admin: and post the logfile 
inline in yr eml-msg, including the cupsd start-up phase.


Can you also post that 'df -hP' and 'lpstat -t -l' info. And do set a default 
printer.


If still you get no physical print-out, then can you do:
===
* check in cups-webadmin, is the test-print job still in a(ny) print-queue?
* cross-check with 'lpstat -l -t'  .
* unplug the usb cable from the computer (i.e. at the computer end), wait the 
  proverbial 10 seconds, plug it back in to the same usb-port, and see if 
  that works: and either way, post the debug2 error-log from that test-phase.
===


I'd think at this stage, that the candidate causes are:
--
* incomplete software stack; still need more-exact driver and 
  foomatic-rip/hpijs, or equiv functionality.
* possibly old usb 'attach' issue: in theory is fixed, but cups (?) devs still 
  have a 'let us know if still bugs you' invite.
* there's a warning in the error_log re compiled without dbus; and 
  _possibly_-related 'discarding-events' entries throughout.

I might be able to get an old canon/epson usb printer in a few days' time, to 
try to have a better look from here. (( I've not really had to debug cups 
printing much further beyond this level, not least as learned what infrastruc 
is required, from a solid setup - i.e. Slackware - and always make sure that 
the requisite infrastruc is in place: else IMHExperience, you _will_ get 
bitten; I'd still expect you'll need the foomatic-rip/hpijs stuff (or equiv) 
if you're not going the hplip route (yet). ))



Cheers,

Akhiezer
