hp deskjet f2280 not printing nor scanning [SOLVED]

Oi,

Printing problem;
I managed to install gento and xfce, also a bunch of apps on my latitude d500, and I followed gentoo instructions for installing printers:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml
I have HP Deskjet f2280 all-in-one
It has copy, scan and print capabilities.

As I progressed, I found out that I need hplip, so I believe I got that driver, but I am not sure (I am new to gentoo).

As I try to make a test print nothing happens.
Also, from, e.g. gedit, I can see printer, and I can print, but the printer is not printing...
As I check (or try to make another print in gedit) I can see that status is:
recoverable:Network host 'latitude-d500' is busy: will retry in x seconds...; Printer 'HP_printer may not be connected.
lsusb gives:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:2404 Hwelett-Packard

My laptop has only two usb connections, so I use usb hub to connect my external disks and printer.

Also, Xsane does not detect device to scan..

I could post some files, but I do not know which.

Thank you.

try emerging hplip with use flags: new-hpcups and scanner

have you tried installing printer through cups web interface? localhost:631

also post output of:

# cat /etc/cups/client.conf
# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i config_usb_printer

you can also check out this post in which many possible solutions / ideas were posted that you can try: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-824560-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html

Oi guys,

...but, lion, if I understand correctly (bare in mind that I am new to gentoo and I was mistaken before, kheh), if it says USE -qd4, than use should not have qt4...

However, I did add scanner -hpijs -static-ppds and new-hpcups to USE.
My USE="gtk gnome bzip2 gzip rar zip samba php slp hpcups ppds new-hpcups scanner pam branding gcj mplayer mp3 gimp usb X branding dbus hal jpeg png gif tiff startup-notification thunar cairo lock session automount opengl avahi wmf xml apache2 mysql mdnsresponder-compat -arts -kde -minimal -qt3 -qt4 -hpijs -static-ppds" is growing with every day, heh heh...

latitude-d500 ~ # cat /etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName /var/run/cups/cups.sock
latitude-d500 ~ # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i config_usb_printer
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
latitude-d500 ~ #

Any way, I don't know whics servise I am supposed to restart, so I rebooted...

And IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!
UUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
..as always, I'll go another round:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! UA! HA!

Guys, thank you very much!!!!

edit, how do I mard post as SOLVED? (p.s. don't tell my friends about this)
