I uninstalled all printers and removed them from the computer (USB). I rebooted. I connected my HP Deskjet 5940 to the USB. After a few seconds I was given the tip that the printer was found and installed. It had been recognised by both the System/Administration/Printing tool and the HPLIP Toolbox, having the URI that was not working previously (i.e. hp:/usb/Deskjet....), BUT It worked flaulessly!...
Job is done and it really should have been done. Bug seems to be fixed. I will inform friends of mine who are also beta-testing Gutsy and had the same problem. My only thought now, is why jobs are compiled continuously to the printer... I mean whatever I send for printing takes a job-number ever increasing (for instance I send a test page and it is printed as job... 45), but I cannot find how I reset the counting. If it is something worth considering, let us now please. Thanks for the fix! It was important for the upcoming release of Ubuntu. -- system-config-printer fails to automatically configure a printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
