I've got an HP laserjet 2300 which is plugged into the usb port on my
RHEL5 server so it shows up as
DeviceURI hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_2300_series?serial=CNCFF60878
in /etc/cups/printers.conf. It refuses to print though. The cups
status page always shows "open print channel failed; will retry in 30
seconds..." unless I disconnect the printer in which case it shows
that it's not connected.
Aha! Something doesn't like that URI, I changed the selection in
system-config-printer to use "usb #1" and the DeviceURI changed to
usb://HP/LaserJet%202300%20series and it's all happy now.
I use CUPS itself to configure printing (that works the same on Debian,
RHEL-clone and anything else I use). I have this, for a different model
of printer, and it works:
DeviceURI hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_3052?serial=00CNCK315110
_I_ am using CUPS 1.3.0 and hp* 1.6.7 (I need the newer support) on
Nahant-clone in this case.
