I tried to print and found out that my HP DEskjet 810C printer would not print. I also noted that Openoffice showed only a generic printer available. When trying to print, my system went into a semmingly frozen state. I then launched system-config-printer and found only a red X and did not see a way to add a printer manually. The program took a long time to even launch.
I then opened hwbrowser and my printer is listed through this tool.
Also, I tried to print from gedit and mozilla with the same results. Of course with no printer being setup automatically, this is not a surprise. The slowdown on the system was there with thes programs also.
hal-0.2.98.cvs20040923-1 desktop-printing-0.14-1 cups-1.1.21-2 system-config-printer-0.6.112-1
The not needing to configure the printer was a reality before this FC3T2 installation. Also, I got the eggcups dialog problem yesterday and do not have it today. Is there something that needs deleted to remedy this failure?

No problem Warren. I finally have my printer recognized after a really slow tour through the system-config-printer program. The main error seemed to be related to pausing at 631 localhost. I believe this problem is related to eth0 not getting an address initially, then I have to run dhclient in order to get an inet address. If it is not chained from this problem, then it finally successfully configured the printer and caused my refresh problem with X when trying to do a test page.
I try to observe more than post to the devel list.
I'll try printing after the configuration after sending this.

I don't know if this is related, but I noticed that a recent cups upgrade caused cupsd to listen on 0.0.0.0:631, instead of 127.0.0.1:631. The new /etc/cups/cupsd.conf doesn't have a Listen 127.0.0.1 line in it.

This might be a contributing factor to this hangup. I tried to launch s-c-p again and it seems to be polling continuously. It still seems to be acting strangely regarding the time to start and refreshing the screen per selection tried.
Printing works now and the program is not needed again hopefully.
Thanks for mentioning the above finding.

Swapping in and out HW contributed to the error with s-c-p (Radeon PCI in, 3COM NIC out). The NIC that was present for eth0 (3Com) was no longer present and caused the realtech to get the wrong MAC address or some related failure. Removing all NIC devices from the configuration via system-config-network and then starting over allowed the printer to print without freezing. Leases were tried via dhclient and failed, then were later successful and s-c-p proceeded to the next step. This is before reconfiguration of the network cards.
The test page was successful after getting the NIC working correctly.

I had trouble with another HP as well - the HP 2000 C. It is detected corectly, but prints only garbage...
If anyone has this printer - please check out https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133647
