Thanks Till. That satis
Added the idea of warning users about the reported model name and the
real model name being different in some cases to the printerdrake

See the improvement ideas in the "Design"section on the Wiki page of the

You do not have /dev/usblp0 as HPLIP uncouples your printer from the
Linux kernel (and /dev/usblp0 is a kernel feature). So you can poll the
printer's device ID only via HPLIP. To do so, enter
lpinfo -l -m
to make CUPS searching for printers. CUPS also asks HPLIP and so you
will get an entry like

Like I said, no such /dev/usblp* devices exist on my system. I've
attached the output of the printingbuginfo script.

You can use the following command from foo2zjs package, installed by default on
Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty:
$ sudo usb_printerid /dev/usblp0

Can you follow the steps described here:

Till, thank you for the excellent detail about this issue. Sorry I
didn't respond sooner.
I tried to use the Perl script, below, but had no luck:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo perl
getusbprinterid.pl /dev/usblp0
Died at getusbprinterid.pl line 3.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo perl

There are two methods to ask a printer to identify itself:
1. lsusb
2. The IEEE-1284 device ID, on USB requested via IOCTLs, see the
following simple programs

I'll go ahead and set this bug against the "hplip" package, to see if I
can get any input from someone more knowledgeable...
** Summary changed:
- HP Deskjet 5150 shows up as "HP deskjet 5100" in list of detected printers,
when opting to configure the printer via the Gnome admin interface
