Re: installing hplip for a g85

hi,

my g85 is now running with hplip. main problem was that after an kernel 
upgrade  printing on usb was no longer possible. i then switch from ptal 
to hplip.

but   /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp did not find the printer (a g85).

the reason was that at usb level the printer was not detected, though i 
powered the printer on and off, unplugged and replugged it . looking 
through all the usb and hotplugged settings showed nothing severe except 
there was no printer found.

now - for some reason (one of the usb ports at my box may be 
malfunctioning, or the fact that i just set up the printer in cups) not 
quite clear to me - the printer is recognized and the rest of setting it 
up took some minutes.

by the way is the printer.c stuff from ptal still necessary for hplip?

thanks and ciao

manfred
