--- Yes, I found the same, no USB.


Of course Fedora allows you to select USB devices as printers.
----I have not found it to be so.
I think you are confusing device selection with driver selection.
---- No that's not quite right, in 'Add New Printer' there is only 
'Network Printers' until authentication then 'LPT #1 and Serial Port #1' 
are displayed.
---- I couldn't select a driver until a device (printer) is selected so 
I chose LPT #1 device then 'Provide PPD file' then navigated to the ppd..
----After that printer properties displays the the usb://path.

Hope this helps
thanks again Tim.
Roger
