PSC2610v. My wifes pc is Win2K no problems. Mine is FC6, and as 
mentioned earlier didn't have any problems before I tried to upgrade 
hplip from 1.6.12 to 1.7.4a. I had lost everything after the upgrade. I 
had as recommended removed the old version first and then installed the 
new one. I wasn't able to reinstall the printer either from hp-setup or 
the gnome gui printer setup, never mind through the cups web interface. 
After 3 hours I finally gave up removed 1.7.4a and tried to reinstall 
1.6.12, with no change. I removed hplip again manually then reinstalled 
through YUM and got it limping along. I then removed everything that I 
could find that had to do with hplip and cups in YUM, rebooted, 
reinstalled, rebooted, then allowed the software update update all of 
the packages. I was then able to reinstall the printer in hp-setup. 
However these other problems have shown up since then.
