impossible to add printer color laserjet 2605dn

It looks like the cups permissions are not allowing this. You could disable the cups permissions by editing the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.. However have you tried running hp-setup to configure the printer instead?

I tryed to add printer with hp-setup in text mode version. The printer correcting discovered, but a the end of add procedure I receive this error: "error: Printer queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again."

Playng around cups, I successfull add a printer driver HP Color LaserJet v2013.114 Postscript. This driver work with my printer quite well.

This mean, perhaps, the problem is the ppd file of hp color laserjet 2605? It's strange that other ppd file work...

I analize the cupsd.conf file for permissions. I don't understand all, but I think is ok. I try to change this file with other working on my second pc, but the problem is the same.

If you got the printer to work it might be best to just let things be. We don't test on Arch linux so I can't say for sure what particularities there might be with that distro.

Thanks for your support of HPLIP.
