Description of problem: Hello I have a HP LaserJet 3055 on my home network. With CUPS/HPLIP/HPIJS installed I tried to configure the printer after a clean install from the live DVD. The config tool was not able to locate the printer all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. tried again (see below) 2. 3. Actual results: no printer detected Expected results: find printer, let my choose the drinter driver, configre it and let me print/scan Additional info: I'm not 100% sure wether this is related to config-system-printer since further packages are involved and I did the following steps to fianlly resolve the issue: 1. I tried hp-setup -i which didn't find the printer either. 2. I configured CUPS with the web interface on localhost:631 which went well till the point I tried to print where I got the error message that the printer was not connected. So I deleted the printer. 3. I installed hplip-gui and this tool found my printer and was able to configure it. Printing and scanning now works perfectly well.
How did you start the config tool? Was it e.g. System Settings -> Printers?
Yes, that's how I started the config tool.
OK -- that's not system-config-printer. What does 'lpinfo -l -v' say? Also, what is the hostname or IP address of the network printer?
here's the output from lpinfo -l -v Gerät: URI = socket Klasse = network Info = AppSocket/HP JetDirect Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = lpd Klasse = network Info = LPD/LPR-Host oder -Drucker Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = https Klasse = network Info = Internet-Druckerprotokoll (https) Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = http Klasse = network Info = Internet-Druckerprotokoll (http) Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = ipp Klasse = network Info = Internet-Druckerprotokoll (ipp) Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = scsi Klasse = direct Info = SCSI-Drucker Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = hp Klasse = direct Info = HP Printer (HPLIP) Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = beh Klasse = network Info = Backend Error Handler Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = Gerät: URI = hpfax Klasse = direct Info = HP Fax (HPLIP) Hersteller und Modell = Unknown Geräte-ID = Standort = It's a private network and I configured the router in a way to provide a fix IP address to the printer
Thanks. Now what does this say? (Use the hostname/IP address of the printer) /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp $HOSTNAME

Add maintainer to CC list. Marek: does the control center printer panel look at any other protocol than IPP for network printer detection yet? (It really needs to...)
Hi, in F15, g-c-c uses httpConnectEncrypt() for connection to specified host and cups-pk-helper's method DevicesGet for searching for new printers. I've added support for the SNMP backend in F16 for the specified host but I haven't planned to add it to F15. Btw, I'm working on samba support. Marek
Hi, I've committed the SNMP support to upstream's gnome-3-0 branch (the patch is not as complicated as I thought). So wait for next stable release of control-center-3.0.x (but the last one was at May). Regards Marek
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
