I'm unable to configure a printer, connected via usb, under Fedora 15.
Fedora 14 Anaconda recognized and configured automatically. The hardware configuration has not changed. The URI for the printer generated by Anaconda was usb://HP/LaserJet%201300
Using this URI to configure the printer on Fedora 15 does not work; the test page job is queued, but not printed. Ditto using usb://HP/LaserJet
FWIW, here's the USB description for the port. The "Belk" is a Belkin parallel-to-usb adapter. Same as under Fedora 14.

I'd really appreciate some assistance.
Thanks.
Have you tried to connect the printer directly to the parallel port, without the belkin converter, and reboot?
Belkin devices aren't necessarily known for their linux support.
