Description of problem: After having booted my F16/Alpha/RC4/live without my attached USB printer Samsung ML1660, I plugged in the USB cable to my box, but nothing happened. Even starting system-config-printer shows no USB printer. But if ruuning lsusb, the printer is shown: Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04e8:3301 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Couldn't open device, some information will be missing Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 16 idVendor 0x04e8 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd idProduct 0x3301 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 iProduct 2 iSerial 3 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 32 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0xc0 Self Powered MaxPower 0mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 2 bInterfaceClass 7 Printer bInterfaceSubClass 1 Printer bInterfaceProtocol 2 Bidirectional iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 -------------------------------------------------------------- Output of system-config-printer: -------------------------------------------------------------- system-config-printer (system-config-printer.py:18611): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot connect to the session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.

Do you still see the problem with this update?: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/system-config-printer-1.3.5-3.fc16
Success! Installing all packages belonging to system-config-printer-1.3.5-3.fc16 (without the debug pkg) will continue the installation until the driver selection. So far so good. There has been only 1 small problem: I had to start the cups daemon by hand (it seems, it not started on system bootup automatically). Thank you!
OK, closing this one.
