When installing an HP 6300, system-config-printer under kde complain about missing hpcups. # emerge --info hplip Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.1-r0, 2.6.33-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r2-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T6570_@_2.10GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 06 May 2010 09:15:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p5 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2, 3.1.2-r3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r4, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.33 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA PUEL" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/" LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="fr" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" " SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi ads akonadi alsa amd64 berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cleartype cli colordiff consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus desktopglobe dhcpcd dri dts dvd dvdr emboss encode exif extras fam ffmpeg firefox flac fontconfig fortran fuse gdbm gif glitz gmp gpm graphite gstreamer gtk hal hdaps iconv ipv6 java jpeg kde kerberos laptop lcdfilter lcms ldap libnotify lzma mad meanwhile mikmod mktemp mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg msn mudflap multilib ncurses network-cron nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp openssh openssl optimized-qmake pam pango pcre pdf perl phonon png policykit polkit ppds pppd pulseaudio python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection rss samba sdl semantic-desktop session smbkrb5passwd spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssh ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd theora thinkpad threads thumbnail tiff truetype unicode usb v4l2 vorbis wicd wifi x264 xcb xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="fr" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= net-print/hplip-3.10.2-r4 was built with the following: USE="X fax hpcups libnotify (multilib) policykit qt4 scanner snmp -doc -hpijs -minimal -parport -static-ppds -udev-acl" Reproducible: Always
What about using hp-setup or the cups web-frontend? With the web-frontend I can choose whether to use the hpijs or the hpcups driver and both seem to work.
Using hp-setup is fine. Seems that system-config-printer is not hplip-aware. I've configured the printer in hplip and it does appear in system-config-printer. Seems that HP printer must be configured with hplip, not system-config-printer

Although I did not found out how to choose between the hpcups or hpijs driver when using hp-setup. This works from the cups web-interface though. So this bug should be assigned to the maintainers of system-config-printer i guess.
Please try system-config-printer-common 1.2.2 - it now relies on udev, maybe it will solve this issue.
Same issue with system-config-printer-common 1.2.2
There are a few new versions out, could you please try 1.2.6 or (soon, bug 354671) 1.2.7 ?!
I'd like to... But I don't have HP printer anymore
(In reply to comment #7) > I'd like to... But I don't have HP printer anymore > I'm seriously tempted to close this as Resolved Fixed :] Anyway, not much that we can do then, I fear. And I assume your problem is also solved by a new printer....
