Description of problem: [from bug 145605]: "printer has no autodetection info supplied in its Foomatic XML file" I've opened this report in order to help supply the missing autodetection information since I have an HP DeskJet 3650 printer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-3 Additional info: The HP DeskJet 3650 printer is USB with (from /proc/bus/usb/devices): Vendor Identifier: 03F0 (hex) Product Identifier: 7204 (hex) Manufacturer String: hp Product String: deskjet 3600 [from bug 145605]: "The information we need is the stuff that system-config-printer displays in the terminal when you run it in a terminal." With the printer completely undefined so that fresh information will be retrieved from the device, running system-config-printer from within a "screen" session yields an empty printer list. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what I should be doing to get that ieee 1284 string.
No, not a screen session, but a normal terminal window in a graphical login session. You should get a message telling you to file a bug report.
Okay, I'll get one of my children to do that. I don't work within the graphical environment myself as I'm blind and the X environment isn't all that accessible yet.
Okay ... it says: No match for USB device: mfr "hp" model "deskjet 3600" desc "3650" cmdset "LDL,DYN"
Thanks. This is fixed in the development foomatic package.
