157	cups/usb failure	losepete		"Having failed to get my printer working in wireless mode - see ticket #155 - I decided to test usb connectivity.

With the printer attached via usb and cupsd running I opened the cups browser interface Admin page and clicked on Find printers which failed to find any printers.

I opened a command line window in usr/lib/cups/backend and entered usb which resulted in the prompt returning without any printer information displayed.

Thinking there may be a usb problem with the printer - never tried it with usb before - I rebooted into Windows7, installed the driver and selected USB as the output port during installation. I then successfully printed the Windows Test Page.

So, no problem with the hardware/usb cable involved.

I know the non-rpm cups from Paul does not need the OS/2 usb printer driver installed and loaded as it uses the libusb10.dll library. Is that the same with the rpm packages?

If ""Yes"" then usb printing does not work because usb.exe cannot find the attached usb printer.
