Ah - that could be because I didn't put usb-utils as a dep. could you try again with usb-utils loaded? Does the network printer work now (perhaps with gs loaded)?
--- Quote ---Also, the folder /usr/local/lib/cups has been given tc:staff ownership. CUPS 1.4 complains if the printer filters are not owned by root.

I didn't change anything in terms of ownwership - note that user/group is set as tc/staff in the cups ./configure

For cups.tczl it's root:staff
Juanito:
One other thing to note is that I have tested this latest version of cups with cups printer drivers as opposed to ppd files.
For this reason, the latest cups extension no longer contains foomatic-rip (although I have compiled, but not posted, the "C" version that depends on libgs) - I don't think this would affect the discovery of usb connected printers, but you might need to hunt down the cups driver for your printer.
perthie:
I would recommend that the new repo for TC 2.4 have two printer packages - the reliable CUPS 1.3.8 that supports a wide range of printers, and the experimental CUPS 1.4.
BTW, it is possible to compile HPLIP for CUPS 1.3.x with dynamic PPDs.

I take it you didn't have any luck with cups-1.4 finding your usb printer?
We could do as you suggest for cups-1.3.8 once tc-2.4 is final - the tcel extension is still availble.
I just finished compiling cups-1.4.1, which apparently fixes a couple of usb bugs...
