Hello list, I am using KDE 3.1 from ktown (woody) on a testing system with kernel 2.4.20. My printer is a HP Deskjet 970cxi and works fine with cups so far.
But there is a odd behaviour with it: While I am working in KDE and want to print something and switch on the printer it is not working. So I do a restart of KDE and/or X, but it changes nothing. The printer is well recognized during boot time and is diplayed with USBview. Now when I do a restart of the computer with the printer switched on, it is printing after that without a problem. There is something going wrong here. I think it should be possible to switch on the printer when the PC/X/KDE is already started?! Am I wrong here? Other USB stuff like a webcam and a DigiCam is working fine. So it seems that the USB Ports/System is working. Any hints on that? Anybody else has some problemes like that? Thanks, Thomas
