Looks like it is missing the "//" in the protocol URI element (i.e. it should be hal:// not just hal: so hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_3f0_104_MY93N151ZNGE_if0_printer_MY93N151ZNGE would be the correct URI). Reasigning to system-config-printer.
hal_lpadmin problem perhaps (from hal-cups-utils)
I've built hal-cups-utils-0.6.2-3 with this patch: --- hal-cups-utils-0.6.2/systemv/hal_lpadmin.uri 2006-08-01 10:39:39.000000000 +0100 +++ hal-cups-utils-0.6.2/systemv/hal_lpadmin 2006-08-01 10:44:03.000000000 +0100 @@ -41,11 +41,11 @@ return name.replace("#", "_") def get_cups_uris(self): - return ["hal:%s" % self.uid, + return ["hal://%s" % self.uid, ] def get_cups_uri(self): - return "hal:%s" % self.uid + return "hal://%s" % self.uid def match(self, printer): if printer.is_class: return False so hopefully that will fix it.
