What does '/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp' say when you run it? I have a feeling that using libusb to communicate with the device (which the hp backend does) somehow causes the usblp driver to unload. The switch to using libusb happened in HPLIP 0.9.9 -- if you're still on 0.9.8 that can't be it. So actually, that's a useful experiment to try: downgrade the 'hplip', 'hpijs' and 'libsane-hpaio' packages to the 0.9.8 packages that came with FC-5. Reboot, and see what happens. Tim. */
