Hi All,

I'm having problems with getting my HP DeskJet 895C printer to work. It is connected with a usb cable. I have, I think anyway, all the appropriate usb modules (ehci, uhci, usblp, and usbcore) loaded in the 2.6.8 kernel I'm using, and I'm running sarge(upgrade from woody). I also have CUPS and the HP drivers "hpijs" and "hpoj" installed. I can log onto the CUPS admin page and work with it so CUPS seems to be installed correctly. However, I cannot get the computer to find the printer. I know the printer works as I just unplugged it from another computer and used the same usb cable for both hookups. Anyone have any good ideas for troubleshooting this? Being a newbie to Linux I'm at the end of my own ideas as to where to go from here. I have run the "/etc/init.d/hpoj setup" command and it scans for, but does not find the printer. I have the .ppd file for the printer installed in the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory. The /proc/bus/usb/ directory is empty. When I tell CUPS to look to usb interfaces for the printer, no matter what usb interface # I have used, the error log tells me the device can't be found. When I run "gs -h" the "ijs" device is listed in the output.



Try installing hotplug
Description: Linux Hotplug Scripts
This package contains the scripts necessary for hotplug Linux support,
and lets you plug in new devices and use them immediately.
It includes support for PCI, Cardbus (PCMCIA), USB and Firewire devices
and can automatically configure network interfaces.

Wayne,

I installed the hotplug module in the kernel as you suggested. I even rebooted afterwards, but still no joy.


Move to tty1 then remove and insert the usb cable and check if the printer is claimed or not.
