Re: setup a printer/scanner server with cups/sane/hplip

Hi,

this evening I tried to install the hp photosmart 309a. I installed 
hplip from current (updated some days ago) and compiled a new custom 
kernel without ulpt and uscanner...

If I plug in the printer tail tells me:
----------------------------
Dec  4 21:29:30 nbsd_t43p /netbsd: umass0 at uhub3 port 3 configuration 
1 interface 3
Dec  4 21:29:30 nbsd_t43p /netbsd: umass0: HP Photosmart C309a series,

per target

Photosmart C309a, 1.00> disk removable
Dec  4 21:29:30 nbsd_t43p /netbsd: sd0: drive offline

Dec  4 21:29:44 nbsd_t43p hp-setup: hp-setup[7144]: error: No device 
selected/specified or that supports this functionality.
----------------------------

I expected a ugen- device would be messaged... Hm, however my older 
epson scanner is detected as ugen0:
----------------------------
Dec  4 21:55:54 nbsd_t43p /netbsd: ugen0 at uhub1 port 2
Dec  4 21:55:54 nbsd_t43p /netbsd: ugen0: EPSON EPSON Scanner, rev 
1.10/1.00, addr 2
----------------------------

If I try hp-setup -i and choose usb-device I get:
----------------------------
error: No device selected/specified or that supports this functionality.
----------------------------

even tail tells me that:
----------------------------
Dec  4 21:29:44 nbsd_t43p hp-setup: hp-setup[7144]: error: No device 
selected/specified or that supports this functionality.
----------------------------

Something strange or buggy in the new hplip package; I didn't find a 
example dll.conf which is printed while installing the hplip package 
(MESSAGE.scan) and the new packages PLIST.scan differs to the older 
version...

But with the older package (pkgsrc-2012Q3) there are the same messages...

Ideas?

Greetings,
Helge
