Hey All,
Hi!
I am a relativley newby to linux so excuse a probably foolish
explanations but had, long trouble with USB-printing - it now works.
I am unable to use my USB printer with my pismo. I'm running the
latest BenH kernel (2.4.4-pre7)
I have 2.2.18pre21 at the moment - I hope it doesn't matter.
CONFIG_USB=y
# CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
# CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set
# CONFIG_USB_UHCI is not set
# CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT is not set
CONFIG_USB_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m
# CONFIG_USB_BLUETOOTH is not set
# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE is not set
# CONFIG_USB_ACM is not set
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
seems ok
and with dmesg I get:
printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0
I had to create /dev/usb/lp0 by hand:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 0 Apr 29 20:20 /dev/usb/lp0
at that step I did
mknod /dev/usb/usblp c 180 0
(might be the same as you did)
When I run ls >/dev/usb/lp0 nothing happens. I ran apsfilter and set
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can debug this further? I
wonder if I'm missing some other important kernel piece.
Then I went in /etc/fstab and wrote after the line beginning with
"proc ....." the following line
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
That worked for me - I hope it will do it for you
Cheers
Georg
