Configuring USB-connected printer

[Geoffrey Leach]

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.

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1

I:  If#= 0 Alt= 2 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=uss720

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.

No parallel port, alas. It's a laptop.

Hmmm .... the converter has been working with many previous versions of 
Fedora. Could it be that linux is not supporting the device now? Seems 
unlikely, though, as all the device is doing is converting between 
Parallel and USB. Could also be that its died, athough doing it between 
14 and 15 seems unlikely.

What does "su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'" say, with the printer connected and
powered on?

It follows.  FWIW, 'couple of observations. First, the printer prints 
in (gasp) Windows, so the hardware setup is apparently correct. Second, 
there's no /dev/usp/lp0 (or whatever the equivalent might be for F15). 
What I do have is /dev/usbmon[0-5]
