[cups.general] Basic printing help

[Randy Gordey]

Hello all,

I can plug in either of two usb HP deskjets to my fedora box. (Fedora 7.0)

I am using cups-1.2.12-4.fc7

[root at fedora ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:1004 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 970c/970cse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[root at fedora ~]#

printing with the cups http "print test page" just hangs...

Following is my cupsd.conf

Thanks in advance for any hints or advice you choose to give... please help.

cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf|grep -v ^#|grep [:alnum:]
