I have a printer that hooks up to my USB port. If I do a 'echo "OK" > /dev/usb/lp0' I don't get any output. Is there something I need to do to get the right device?
You can find information about all sorts of printers at http://linuxprinting.org/
Also, make sure you have the usb printer module in the kernel enabled (search by using modconf, in the usb section (in my 2.6.6 custom kernel it's under kernel/drivers/usb/class, called usblp)
Thanks for the speedy answer, Joris. I tried modconf, but I can't find anything to do with printers or usb devices. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hello Clyde Wilson,
Take a look here: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Hardware/Getting_USB_and_Your_Printer_Working.html
For usb printing, you'll have to upgrade to a 2.4 kernel - or a 2.6 kernel , but coming from 2.2 that'd be a big leap I guess.
There are some 2.4 kernel images available as debian packages or you could try and compile a custom kernel.
HTH,
Joris
