Hi David,

>I'll ask the silly questions first:

>1) It's plugged in [usb]

Yes, I leave it plugged in. So when I boot up with
WinXP, I can print. And in Fedora, when I try to print
(even a text file), the printer does respond, but only
by spitting out a page.

>2) It shows up in 'lsusb' and 'less
>/etc/sysconfig/hwconfig'

[root@localhost /]# sbin/lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 03f0:2304 Hewlett-Packard
DeskJet 656c
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[root@localhost /]# cd /etc/sysconfig
[root@localhost sysconfig]# less hwconf

... includes the following:

-
class: PRINTER
bus: USB
detached: 0
driver: unknown
desc: "Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 656c"
usbclass: 7
usbsubclass: 1
usbprotocol: 2

usbport: 0
usbdev: 2

usbmfr: HEWLETT-PACKARD
usbprod: DESKJET 656C

Interesting that the driver says 'unknown'?

>3) As root [su - password] 'rpm -qa | grep hp' What

[root@localhost sysconfig]# rpm -qa | grep hp
php-4.3.9-3
rhpl-0.148-1
php-mysql-4.3.9-3
hpoj-0.91-9
hpijs-1.6-2
php-pear-4.3.9-3

>4) It's configured by using

Yes it is configured with 'Printer configuration'.
There are 3 queues: deskjet-656c-1; usblp0;
usb-printing-interface-1.
The usblp0 is selected as default. I try to do a Test
ASCII text printout. The printer spits out a blank
page, and I'm prompted with the question: "Sent ASCII
text test page
to 'usblp0' queue.  Does it look okay?". I select No
and I get the following details:

 [04/Jan/2005:23:46:11 +1000] Adding start banner
