Hi All,

I have custom made handheld device which runs on pxa-225 processor and 
embeded linux with busybox, xfree86-440 ,matchbox and gtk1.2. The board 
has usb connector to which i want connect HP Deskjet 5438 printer. To 
implement CUPS on the device I am following  below procedure.
1) crosscompiled gs
2) crosscompiled cups
When I tried to configure printer using (dillo ) httpd://localhost:631 
configuration goes fine till  Device drop-down list selectin where it is 
show only first four entries and it is not showing any usb related 
entries and HPprinter entries,where as same thing is working fine on my PC.

here is the the output of
