HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One is USB.
I am not seeing this problem at all with any USB printer.
1. What install method are you using?
2. Go to the folder /dev/usb and check the properties of lp0.
What are its permissions?
3. Type the command: /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
What do you get back?
4. Do you have the same problem on a clean "pfix=ram" boot off the CD?
1. Installation method:
a. Installed your hplip_print-3.12.4 and hplip_scan-3.12.4 pets (Note: USB scan function works)
b. Used radky's pupcontrol to bring up the CUPS 1.4.8 installation program to install the printer.
2. See image-1
3. # /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

4. I use a clean frugal installation on a hard drive, I was getting too many CD coasters.
Thank you for keeping your specialized pets up-to-date and continuing to share your printer knowlege with us. Your pets have worked great on numerous pup installations, without which it would have been a chore to get the printer to work.
Thanks again,
Jim
