I decided to delete all printer definitions and start from scratch using the cups web administration process to add a printer. Once added, I went to the HP Device Manager and it had an icon for the printer but said that it could not be connected. I then switched users to "root" and using the HP device Manager it showed the printer connected with icons for options to scan, print or fax. One thing that I did find peculiar is that it asked for a user id/password when adding the printer. I tried to use my local user id/password but it would not accept it. It seemed to be in a loop and kept popping up asking for user id /password. I finally entered root and password which it accepted. > > -- > [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r > 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 > > Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
