I posted several days ago about the lack of success I'm having with an
HP 5440 (regular inkjet). I have hpijs installed (the debian package),
but the HP tools can't find the printer and hence nothing works for me.
I see the printer device show up in the kernel log when I plug it into
USB. However, beyond that, I've got a paperweight, despite the fact
that this printer is supposed to work perfectly.
I have a USB mouse that works fine and I've used USB memory sticks and
synched my Palm on the same machine, so basic USB appears to work.

It looks like you've been through the debug cycle before. Would you
have any suggestions?
Hmm, If I recall correctly when I installed the printer (the 4110, two
years ago, with hpoj drivers) there was a whole debug procedure
available to determine exactly what was going on. I cannot remember much
about it now but I believe it was listed at
http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/doc.shtml
HPOJ at that time did support USB connected devices so you luck with
older releases perhaps. You might also find some help in the forum at
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/
You may also want to check linuxprinting.org which IIRC has a database
of working devices (as does hpinkjet.sourceforge.net).
I don't have any better suggestions than that sorry.
