Bug#463814: Hplip fails to recognize correctly installed devices

[Bruce Sass <bmsass@shaw.ca>]

Hi,

The title of this bug is a little misleading. According to this 
hp-check.log, the device is _not_ correctly installed.

hp-check[9601]: info: :| INSTALLED CUPS PRINTER QUEUES |

For me, the question is...
Why are your attempts to configure the device failing.

Where did the parallel:/dev/lp0 device URI come from?
Have you tried deleting the parallel: device's entries before setting up 
the hp: device URI?
