Do you have your lp modules loaded? I have an epson Stylus C84, and the following modules loaded: liem@lazarus:~$ /sbin/lsmod | grep lp lp 10948 0 parport 32584 2 lp,parport_pc usblp 11904 0 usbcore 107768 9 ub,usblp,usbserial,usbhid,usbkbd,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,usb_storage
Hi John,I also suspected it was a module problem and indeed I have no lp module *at all*. some time ago I had a similar problem with other usb devices and I installed hotplug to solve that. actually, my understanding is that this does not apply to the newer kernels in 2.6.x...
kruiskruid:~# uname -sr Linux 2.6.11-powerpc kruiskruid:~# lsmod | grep lp kruiskruid:~# modprobe lp FATAL: Module lp not found. the following search shows results only in the 2.4.x branch. http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=lp.o&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=stable&arch=powerpc so, maybe I could boot the old kernel and see if it works there... will definitely try that, any further hints in the meanwhile? thanks!
