Hi,
I've used TP, with registration key, successfully with PCLinuxOS (Mandriva based) and Mepis (Ubuntu based).
Under Sabayon (Gentoo based) after what looked like a successful installation from the tar archive, TP Setup doesn't seem to see my USB port. I can select Canon iP 1700 from the printer list, but under device name, I only get a choice of /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 -- no USB connection is listed. I tried reinstalling TP but it didn't fix this.
Thanks for your help.

TP under Sabayon (Gentoo) can't find my USB port
Okay, now I'm really frustrated...
I reinstalled Sabayon Linux just to make certain that nothing was messed up in my CUPS installation.
Now, it seems that CUPS sees the printer. It shows up in the printing section of the KDE Control Center as iP1700, attached to my USB port. It also shows up in Konquerer when I log on to localhost:631. When I type /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb into a root shell, it returns "no such file or directory" (am I missing a command there?)
In TP Setup, my USB connection still is not offered as an option in the drop down menu. I tried entering the connection manually as suggested, but the test print didn't work.
Okay, what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
