OK. I have searched thsi topic relentlessly and have tried many solutions, but I still cannoy get my HP Photosmart C4280 printer to work.
I have all of the HP and CUPS software installed. When I start the hp tool box, it recognizes that there is a printer attached to my system. I start the set up process, choose the ppd file and I get the error:
Printer queue setup failed. Could not connect to CUPS Server
Is user added to "sys" group(s)
I added my user name to the sys group but still received this error.
If I try to set it up through cups, my browser opens and says
The requested operation could not be completed
Connection to Server Refused
Details of the Request:
URL: http://localhost:631/admin
Protocol: http
Date and Time: Saturday, September 17, 2011 10:13 AM
Additional Information: localhost: Connection refused
Description:
The server localhost refused to allow this computer to make a connection.
I must CUPS configured wrong somehow.

Hm, I don't know if it helps but I see 2 issues possible:
1) you have a physical problem with the printer (for example bad USB cable)
2) you haven't added a daemon to /etc/rc.conf. If this is the case, add cupsd into rc.conf.
Pls inform us how it goes...

The printer works when I boot into another operating system. In fact the scanner works in arch.
I have this in my /etc/rc.conf file: DAEMONS=(dbus !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager syslog-ng @alsa @wicd cupsd)

Have you tried this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … ting_usblp
Don't fix it if it ain't broken.
Don't break it if you can't fix it.

Yes. I did that as well.

Did you log out and log in again since adding your user to sys?

Many times.

tried both with and without blacklisting usblp?

Just tried un blacklisting. Logged out and back in. Still no luck.

First things first:
Can you at least connect to the main Cups administration browser page at "http://localhost:631"?
Are your passwords properly set up for the connection (you need root for administration rights)?
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Right now gdm is just hanging and I can't boot into arch at all. When I try to connect that way I get the following from the browser:
URL: http://localhost:631/admin

When the HP utility tried to connect to http://localhost:631/admin it would pull up epiphany and that browser would not load the page. When I cut and pasted http://localhost:631/admin into chrome, it let me set up the printer. Now if I can gdm to work again. Oh well.
Hey thanks for everyone's help. I am no computer genius, just a 46 yr old guy who likes to experiment with linux.
