Use tail to show only the most recent log entries.
OK, here is what I get. I have just pasted the whole screen in case it may be helpful: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo grep -n -i 'brltty' /var/log/syslog | tail 992:Apr 26 17:35:56 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: serial write error 19: No such device. 993:Apr 26 17:35:57 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: SpeechDispatcher Speech Driver: 994:Apr 26 17:36:02 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: Write error 19: No such device. 995:Apr 26 17:36:02 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: serial write error 19: No such device. 996:Apr 26 17:36:08 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: Write error 19: No such device. 997:Apr 26 17:36:08 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: serial write error 19: No such device. 998:Apr 26 17:36:13 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: Write error 19: No such device. 999:Apr 26 17:36:13 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: serial write error 19: No such device. 1000:Apr 26 17:36:19 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: Write error 19: No such device.1001:Apr 26 17:36:19 debian-compaq brltty[4773]: serial write error 19: No such device. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Any ideas? Dmesg says it is on ttyUSB1. I also tried the following: brltty -b bn -d ttyUSB0 brltty -b bn -d ttyUSB1 (Like before) Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Unfortunately, my hp isn't available for testing yet. But I thought they would be ttyS0 and 1? Also it has two usb ports and only one is pluged in with the usb to serial cable...
