Hi; Just adding some additional printing exploits, in case anybody is interested.

I tested several applications and the print test page before posting. Why? Saturday psc_1310_series_ wouldn't print anything. No new downloads; no reboots since the original post. Isn't "psc_1310_series_" and "psc_1315" just a name or alias for the same printer. Why is HAL using Device URI [hp:/usb/psc_1310_series?serial=CN45PB613FO2] while Fedora printer-config gui uses Device URI [usb://hp/psc%201310%20series?serial=CN45PB613FO2]? And, is that the difference? Why would things change? Household gnomes?? I thought we had gotten rid of the HAL reconfiguring the printer over a month or two ago?? > Both printer designations now appear in all my applications.
