1 I have installed two or three times, deleted /etc/cups and reinstalled
2 the printer. It showed up as an HPLIP device when installing, w/ CUPS
3 and/or the kde printer utility. NOtably the utility OR the
4 localhost:631 interface did not show any option for a USB printer.
5 The address that ended up being used was a usb:<printername>. When I
6 get gentoo booted up I'll look at it again. For now, I have to print,
7 so I've installed Ubuntu on another partition. Printing works fine
8 there, so that's a start.
