Does turning SELinux off work around the problem? (If so, I need to fix the policy...) /usr/sbin/setenforce 0 That's the content of /etc/sysconfig/selinux which shows my default choice of 'permissive' mode. So, SELinux doesn't seem to be the cause: # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=permissive # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted # SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes SETLOCALDEFS=0 What does 'hp-probe' say?

If this isn't the result you are expecting, warning: check to make sure your devices are properly connected and powered on. Given that I do not have any USB printer but an HP LaserJet 4000 connected to the parallel port, this output does not look really helpful .. After upating to the latest 'rawhide' components cups-1.3.3-1.fc8,
hplip-2.7.9-1.fc9, and system-config-printer-0.7.75-1.fc9, there is some
progress with using 'hp-probe'. I now obtain:

So, it correctly scans the available busses and displays the HP LaserJet 4000
connected to the parallel port. However, upon creation of a new printing device
using 'hplip', the error messages in /var/log/messages after printing a test
page are identical to the previous ones.
Thanks for testing. I've reported this upstream. Adding the upstream reference here would be great! Thanks. hplip-1.7.4a-5.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
