hplip

[Mark Perew]

Patrick -

When I installed hplip for my OfficeJet J6480, the automatic configuration
didn't work correctly.  Further, I couldn't fix it with either
system-config-printer, cups, or lpadmin.  I had to manually delete the
printer from the printers.conf file, the restart the cups service.  That was
just to get to a point of having no printers defined.

>From there I was able to run system-config-printer and get my printer
working correctly.

I don't know if that will work in your case, but it might worth considering.
