Hi, all.
I bought an HP 5440 based on the recommendations of linuxprinting.org. So
far I've had no success getting the printer to work, though. At the
moment, I suspect something at the USB level. This is on etch testing as
of today.
When I plug the printer in, I see the following in kernel.log:
Feb 13 23:31:16 smaug kernel: usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
Feb 13 23:31:19 smaug kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 4
Something is showing up on USB.
Hi,
Do you have usblp module loaded (modprobe usblp)?
Thanks for replying.
No it wasn't loaded. To try, I manually modprobe'd usblp, then unplugged and
plugged in the printer again. The kernel log is below, followed by the output
of hp-probe, which hasn't changed, unfortunately. The usblp module clearly
recognizes the printer, so it seems like the issues are elsewhere.
First, why doesn't usblp automatically get invoked? Second, why is hp-probe
ignoring my printer?
Thanks again,
Jerry
