Wireless setup of C4580 gives "error: No devices found on bus: usb"

Currently, this model is not supported by wifi setup.

You could try enabling it and see if it works by modifying the models.dat
file in /usr/share/hplip/data/models so that the wifi-config flag is equal
to 1.

Change:

 [photosmart_c4500_series]
....
wifi-config=0

to:

[photosmart_c4500_series]....
....
wifi-config=1

You will have to have root privileges to do this edit. Save the file and try
running hp-setup again.
