I have learned a lot today and it is all bad. Let us assume the
udev update I got is what ruined my printing. The obvious thing to do
is delete the update. But you can not do that.
The update becomes part of the whole file for udev. This you can't
just remove because it is used by the whole computer!
So I think I need to get out my DVD and look for the old udev rpm
and force it to replace the updated one.
If that doesn't work do the same thing to the others. A whole lot
of work. Maybe easier to just reload f7?
I have an HP Deskjet 722C connected to an F7 machine through the
parallel port and I'm using the most recent udev update. I would not
suspect udev yet.
I Have hpijs-1.7.4a-4.fc7 and hplip-1.7.4a-4.fc7 installed so that
may help in identifying the type of printer (I'm a neophyte with
printers) and the printer shows up in the CUPS web interface with a URI
of hp:/par/DESKJET_720c?device=/dev/parport0
If you have the updated cups files installed you will never get that HP
working. Because the new Cups will not accept any printer using the
parallel port.
