The hplip version that is available in Sid should be able to detect your printer without hassle.

I'm not sure if it possible to have both versions installed at the same time, that is, Debian hplip package and upstream hplip one :-? >> Good... what package did you download?

"libusb" is not the name of a package but a library which can have different names depending on the distribution. So let's look at hplip manual install requirements: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/debian.html First, I can't see Debian sid as a supported target but anyway, let's see what are the required packages for Squeeze: *** libcups2 libcups2-dev cups-bsd cups-client libcupsimage2 libcupsimage2-dev libdbus-1-dev g++ gs-esp libssl-dev libjpeg62-dev libsnmp-dev libc6 libtool libusb-dev <-- this! make python-imaging policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome python-qt4 python-qt4-dbus python-dbus python-gobject python-dev python-notify python python-reportlab sane libsane-dev sane-utils xsane *** Wow, how many! :-) There is one for libsub (libusb-dev). >> Good, good... so the installer can't see where libusb is located in >> your system (maybe a packaging issue).

Okay, so no "libusb-dev" at all, right? :-? Install that package and try to run the installer again.
