From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Epiphany/1.2.4 Description of problem: HP PSC 1110 printer/scanner not working with kernel-2.6.5-1.358. "ptal-init setup" does not detect it. It works nicely with kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl According to hpoj-devel post (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4077079&forum_id=5841) it looks like being a problem from 2.6.3 and up and affecting some/all HP usb printers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.358 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot to kernel-2.6.5-1.358 (hpoj-0.91.7 installed, psc connected and power on) 2. run "ptal-init setup" (or "service hpoj setup") as root 3. choose no to probing parallel-connected devices and then yes to probe for usb-connected devices Actual Results: device is not detected Expected Results: device should have been detected Additional info: Booting to kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl and repeating the steps ends with device been detected properly.
Finally got round to do clean FC2 install and my psc 1110 works like charm. Seems that this was only update related problem. Hessu
mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?
If I remember correctly I did the update from fc1 to fc2 from network with yum. That isn't supported, right? And the clean install fixed it back then as I noted. I've already upgraded that install to fc3 and there has been no problems with the HP psc 1110. So I think it was pretty specific problem releated just to the network upgrade I used.
