I have installed two or three times, deleted /etc/cups and reinstalled
the printer.  It showed up as an HPLIP device when installing, w/ CUPS
and/or the kde printer utility.   NOtably the utility OR the
localhost:631 interface did not show any option for a USB printer.
The address that ended up being used was a usb:<printername>.  When I
get gentoo booted up I'll look at it again.  For now, I have to print,
so I've installed Ubuntu on another partition.  Printing works fine
there, so that's a start.

Thank you,

Alan

Any ideas?
        

I ran into something similar to the a while back and I had to un-merge
cups, delete the config files, then reemerge cups and reconfigure my
printer.   Keep in mind that when you unmerge something, the config
files remain in /etc unchanged.
      

Assuming that you have set the correct device in the GUI for your printer,
then the most likely error is that your have not provided the correct path
for it.  Show us what you have defined the path as in case we can help.
