[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#450484: Printer says "Printer not connected"

[Thierry Kauffmann]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.2

My printer used to work before an upgrade from debian sarge to debian etch.

After the upgrade, The cups web interface kept on telling "Printer not connected, retry in 30 seconds"

Here are the infos from my printer (which I got from printconf that was unable to install the printer)

<autodetect>
  <usb>
    <description>Hewlett-Packard DesignJet 500+HPGL2 (42'' sized)</description>
    <manufacturer>Hewlett-Packard</manufacturer>
    <model>DesignJet 500+HPGL2 (C7770B)</model>
  </usb>
</autodetect>

printers.conf is
