Hi all,
yesterday I upgraded hplip. I should not, after a bad experience on FreeBSD.
But, while on FreeBSD I was able to downgrade to the previuos version, I
could not do the same on Gentoo.
The sequence:
- after upgrading hplip I ran hp-setup: the printer has been configured
- then I tried to print a page: the job starts but no printing at all
- thinking to have done something wrong I re-emerge hplip
- then I ran hp-setup: the printer is recognized but when I click on
Next button the program hangs and I have to kill it
- so I tried to configure the printer using cups with Firefox:
http://localhost:631 gives me "404 not found"
- a ping on 127.0.0.1 is successful and nmap on 127.0.0.1 tells me the
port 631 is open.

May-be something wrong in /etc/cups/cupd.conf, but ... what?
Any tips?

Why is it not possible to downgrade hplip to the previous version?

Cheers
