I am a bit confused... The hp-check.log you sent on June 15th showed that HPLIP did indeed "find the printer", and that log was generated by HPLIP-2.8.5 which is newer than "2.4*". ...so, your statement which I have included above appears to be incorrect. Like it says in your hp-check.log: --- hp-check[9601]: info: :Printer status: printer HP690C is idle. enabled since Thu 15 May 2008 07:31:55 PM IDT "warning: Printer is not HPLIP installed. Printers must use the hp: or hpfax: CUPS backend to function in HPLIP." --- The errors you mention in your original report are to be expected with the configuration indicated in the hp-check.log you have provided. There is nothing buggy with that behaviour; the utilities expect hp: and hpfax: URIs and since none exist they don't find any usable devices, the toolkit finds no devices for the same reason. From a bug report point of view, and taking the additional info into account, this is the interesting bit in your original message: "So I try to configure the device, go through all the steps and on "finish", am back with no devices or unsupported device." Later on you said: "I tried changing that to one with HP stuff in it." That is the setup (the one with an hp: type device URI) we need to see the hp-check.log and actual error messages/reports for. It may well be something as simple as a missing underscore in the URI. - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
