Hello list, I have a trusty old Kyocera FS-1020D USB mono laser, which has been doing sterling service while connected to this workstation box. I want to connect it instead to a small X-less server box on the LAN and administer it from here (the workstation). I'm not having much success.
I've followed the Gentoo Wiki article, which is too old to inspire confidence, and I've searched for similar experiences on the Web. My problem is that, even though the system detects the printer being connected, cups can't see it. I've tried everything I can think of so I'm now hoping that someone here can point out my (no doubt elementary) error. # emerge -pv cups --->8 [ebuild R ] net-print/cups-2.2.7::gentoo USE="acl dbus pam ssl threads usb -X -debug -java -kerberos -lprng-compat -python (-selinux) -static-libs -systemd -xinetd -zeroconf" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" 0 KiB Extract from VT12 when the printer is plugged in (minus T&D etc.): usb 1-7.1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci usb 1-7.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0482, idProduct=000e usb 1-7.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-7.1: Product: Kyocera Mita FS-1020D usb 1-7.1: Manufacturer: Kyocera Mita usb 1-7.1: SerialNumber: XAX5X26731 Cupsd.conf attached. -- Regards, Peter.
