7 Could you be more specific about 'disables'? I use an HP
8 USB printer on a machine running cupsd and hal, and it works
9 perfectly:
10
11 printer.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_3f0_1617_00CNBM369103_if0' (string)
12 printer.vendor = 'Hewlett-Packard' (string)
13 printer.product = 'hp LaserJet 3015' (string)
14
15 I think the problem must be something besides hal, but what?
16
17 Is cups really running on the problem machine? Can you talk
18 to cupsd using your web browser at http://localhost:631? If
19 yes, does the printer show up in the list of known printers?
20 If not, can you add it to the list of known printers?
