I tried the wizard and looked at linuxprinting.org. The wizard did not see the usb printer only /dev/lp0 and ptal. I tried the instructions on linuxprinting.org and went through the CUPS wizard but I do not know what usb device the printer is attached to. How can I find out what device it is?
I just had good results configuring a HP 3550 color laser printer by downloading the HPLIPS drivers from Sourceforge. They work perfectly while the HP stuff shipped with Fedora failed to work at all. Includes a tool that will scan your USB and Network and report any printers that it discovers.
No RPMS, but the source builds and installs perfectly under FC3.
