Bug 484130

Please try system-config-printer-1.1.3-6.fc11, which should fix most of the issues you've noted, except for the actual print failure which seems to be a more low-level problem of some sort.

I'd like to check that the other issues you've mentioned are fixed, and then we can take a closer look at why USB printing is not working for you.

(One remaining issue is the large number of seemingly-identical drivers for the HP LaserJet 1320.  I've filed a separate bug report for that: bug #484927.)

system-config-printer-1.1.3-6.fc11.x86_64 fails on startup with:

  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 6001
    return ppd
             ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Oops, please try system-config-printer-1.1.3-7.fc11.

When I delete and then power on the printer with system-config-printer-1.1.3-7.fc11.x86_64, it configures itself automatically.  I hit the "Configure" button in the notification pop-up, which opened a second instance of system-config-printer.  I closed the first instance and used the second one to rename the printer to "trip" and turn on double-sided printing. Then I tried to print a test page from the troubleshooter.  A print queue icon appears in the notification area and the test page gets queued, but the test page does not print.  After a while a popup appears that says, "Not connected? / Printer 'trip' may not be connected."  troubleshoot.txt from this run attached.

If I hit the New icon in system-config-printer to try to set the printer up manually, I get a pop-up window that says "Please Wait / Searching / 
Searching for printers" and then an error dialog that says "CUPS server error (fetching device list) / There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-service-unavailable'".

In my system logs, I see the following:

This is with the new cups-1.4-0.b2.6.fc11.x86_64, by the way.

Now with cups-1.4-0.b2.7.fc11.x86_64 and system-config-printer-1.1.4-1.fc11.x86_64, the auto-configuration appears to succeed, but when I try to print anything, it just sits in the queue until eventually a "printer might not be connected" popup appears.  If I then set up a second instance of the printer manually, accepting all of the defaults, I can print to that successfully.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

There are lots of separate problems here, and I'm no longer sure which ones are still current.  Unfortunately I have been busy with other work for the last few months and have only now had time to look at this.

Here are the problems I see mentioned in comment #4:

1. "Not connected?" dialog when printing to a USB printer
2. 'server-error-service-unavailable' when trying to add a printer from system-config-printer
3. hal-cups-utils failure when hot-plugging the printer

I would really appreciate having these in separate bug reports as they are all quite different from one another.

*This* bug report will be for issue number 1, a "Not connected?" dialog when printing to a local USB printer.  So, firstly, do you still see this with Fedora 11?

Oh, from comment #6, that answer is yes.

If you unplug the printer and plug it back in, does printing start?  In other words, is bug #505647 the same problem?

Closing due to lack of information.
