(fixed) Hp Psc2175 Problem

This bug report says it all: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396246

My HP deskjet 5550 works well though.

Go figure

Fixed:

------- Comment #1 From Johannes Meixner -------

Probably not a printing issue but a lower level USB problem:
- try another USB slot at the computer,
- try another USB cable,
- connect it directly to the computer with a short USB cable
(without any USB hub in between if you use one),
- connect it where the HP 5550 is connected,
- remove any memory cards from any slots if there are any
inserted in the all-in-one device
- ...

Does this help?

Try to set it up using (as root) the command "hp-setup".
Does it work then?

If not, please provide a full description about the
setup with "hp-setup" what happened for you step by step,
in particular:
- was it autodetected, if yes what is the exact model
description which was shown by hp-setup?
- was a driver (i.e. a PPD file) automatically found
and selectded, if yes which exact PPD file was used
by hp-setup)?
- did the test-page at the end of hp-setup print out?
- what results after hp-setup the command "lpstat -l -t"

Johannes,

"hp-setup" worked out of the box with me just accepting the defaults

SuSE installer has worked so well for me in the past that I never ever have had
to CLI configure a printer (since 9.0). You have made it a learning experience
for me.

Thanks for your knowledge and help. I'll tuck that howto away if ever needed
again in the future (like the openSUSE Forums too).

Thanks again,

Jim
