CUPS doesn't know about the HP DeskJet 3650.

Description of problem: It's not possible to configure an HP DeskJet 3650 printer via the IPP interface of CUPS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8.4 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to [http://localhost:631] with any web browser (I use lynx). 2. Go to "Do Administration Tasks" (enter root and its password). 3. Go to "Add a New Printer". 4. Set "Name" to "lp1". 5. Set "Location" to "Office". 6. Set "Description" to "HP DeskJet 3650". 7. Click "Continue". 8. Set "Device" to "USB Printer #1 (3650)". 9. Click "Continue". 10. Set "Make" to "HP". 11. Click "Continue". Actual results: The "Model" selector doesn't contain "HP DeskJet 3650", or even anything obviously reasonably equivalent. Expected results: The "Model" selector should contain "HP DeskJet 3650", or at least something which is clearly an equivalent model. Additional info: The foomatic printer object name is "HP-DeskJet_3650". The foomatic driver name is "hpijs".
The way I define the printer without using CUPS is as follows: Go to the HP DeskJet 3650 page at LinuxPrinting.org: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_3650 Click "download PPD", and save the file "HP-DeskJet_3650-hpijs.ppd" into the directory "/usr/share/cups/model/". Then do (all on one line): foomatic-configure -s cups -n lp1 -N 'HP DeskJet 3650' -L 'Office' -p HP-DeskJet_3650 -d hpijs -c 'usb://3650?serial=<serial-number>' --ppd '/usr/share/cups/model/HP-DeskJet_3650-hpijs.ppd' The printer's serial number can be determined by looking for the S: SerialNumber= line for the printer in "/proc/bus/usb/devices". In case it'll help with adding support for autodetection, here's the entire entry (serial number masked out) in "/proc/bus/usb/devices" for the HP DeskJet 3650: D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=03f0 ProdID=7204 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=hp S: Product=deskjet 3600 S: SerialNumber=xxxxxxxxxxxx C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usblp E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
Use the CUPS configuration tool we ship (System Settings->Printing), which knows about all of the foomatic models.
