Well I have a HP. I had trouble the other day, read that as the printer |
| 23 |
was turned off and I didn't know it, so I deleted the printer. That was |
| 24 |
when I realized it was turned off, so I turned it back on and hplip or |
| 25 |
something just added the printer without me doing anything. KDE showed |
| 26 |
a little pop up and it was done and it has printed ever since. This |
| 27 |
could be habit forming tho. ;-) I like things that "just work". |

Do you have ppds and dbus USE flag enabled for cups? As far as I know, |
| 30 |
that is all I enabled for mine. Just for reference, this is my USE flags: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
USE="X avahi dbus gnutls java jpeg ldap pam perl png ppds python ssl |
| 33 |
tiff zeroconf -acl -kerberos -php -samba -slp -static -xinetd" |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The two I mentioned above is the main ones I would guess. Most of mine |
| 36 |
are global flags. |
| 37 |

| 38 |
I hope you see something to at least try. |
