Description Thilo Pfennig 2004-03-23 09:03:58 UTC

CUPS allways likes to set "DeviceURI usb:/dev/usblp0". But on Gentoo it is named 
"DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0". I suppose this is hardcoded somewhere? The result ist, that CUPS can not print.

BTW: In comparison to Debian setting printing on Gentoo is really complicated, because you can not simply choose between PPD-Drivers. For newcomers not possible to install printer with documentation given by Gentoo.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create usb printer


Actual Results:  
"DeviceURI usb:/dev/usblp0" in /etc/cups/printers.conf

Expected Results:  
"DeviceURI usb:/dev/usb/lp0" in /etc/cups/printers.conf

where does cups like to set DeviceURI to usb:/dev/usblp0 ?

if you set ppds in your use flags and remerge foomatic-db(hpijs and gimp-print if you use them), you'll get the debian way.
