Ok I looked at a Hardy system. You need to update your version of 55-hpmud.rules file with the latest the 55-hpmud.rules in the hplip 2.7.12 tar ball. I know Ubuntu uses a modified hpmud.rules file which is ok, but your copy is out-of-date. I have made some udev changes since the "usb_device" name has changed in the latest kernel.
I have a attached an updated 55-hpmud.rules file that should work. Also you can remove the 45-hplip.rules file since it is redundant with 55-hpmud.rules file installed. -dave ** Attachment added: "C:\des\tmp\55-hpmud.rules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11304156/C%3A%5Cdes%5Ctmp%5C55-hpmud.rules -- [Hardy]HP printer is not detected properly by HPLIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181242 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
