Hi, I 'solved' the problem by attaching the printer to my apple airport express. Now I can print from plan9 using this neat trick I found whilst digging in 9fans:
term% cat test.ps | telnet tcp!express.lan!9100 connected to tcp!express.lan!9100 on /net/tcp/2 I'd still like to be able to directly connect with usb. I will try with native plan 9 instead of under vmware fusion and also try a different printer to see if I get different results. Is there some extra extra debugging I can enable to see what's going on with the usb devices?
