Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

On a fresh installation of Intrepid, with all available updates :
My HP DESKJET 895C is auto-configured with the cdj880 driver. And this driver doesn't work.
It should be auto-configured to use the hpijs driver.
Note that this driver (hpijs) is the recommended one by system-config-printer itself :-)

Here is the relevant part of my syslog (tracing the suppression and the readding of the printer).

Fred,
Your syslog indeed indicates the cdj880 driver being selected by hal_lpadmin, reassigning to hal-cups-utils.

Can you also post the output of the following command on a terminal:
$ lpinfo -m | grep -i 895c

In jaunty alpha 4 (with available updates), the bug is still there.
But now the selected driver is no longer the cdj880 one: the printer is now configured with the Foomatic/pcl3 driver instead of the hpijs one.

$ lpinfo -m | grep -i 895c
