Comment 2 for bug 1273905

Hi Kees, Till,

Currently HPLIP removes the other local hp queues ,which are not configured by hp-setup, and creates using hp-setup.
Sorry for inconvenience caused. We are looking into this issue.

@Kees,
For a quick fix, please make following changes.

#--> take backup of /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py
$ sudo cp /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py_backup

#-->replace cups.delPrinter command with pass in config_usb_printer.py
$ sed 's/cups.delPrinter.*$/pass/' /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py > /tmp/config_usb_printer.py
$ sudo mv /tmp/config_usb_printer.py /usr/share/hplip/config_usb_printer.py

Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
