Now I have recompiled my kernel to include the USB not as module, but
included in the kernel.

Still no cigar:
hpijs: io/hpmud/musb.c 135: unable get_string_descriptor -1: Operation
not permitted
hpijs: io/hpmud/musb.c 603: invalid product id string ret=-1
hpijs: io/hpmud/musb.c 1058: unable to open
hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_P1005?serial=BC02GNE

(and ofcourse the usblp0: removed)

Even with the now available 2.8.5 HPLIP. I get an [ OK ] for HPLIP
but a [FAILED] for HPSSD I doesn't really say why though. I understand
that for 12.0 and up the HPLIP does not need deamons to run, but what it
doesn't say is what the replacement is (if any) for 11.0.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Cor
