I got a HP DeskJet 2630 printer and connected it via usb I tried to use it "directly", i.e., /etc/printcap: usb:lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/usb:sf:sh:tr=^D: as mentioned in the original mail
but this results in an "output error" after I started lpd and used lpr doc.ps ulpt0 at uhub0 port 4 configuration 1 interface 1 "HP DeskJet 2600 series" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode ugen0 at uhub0 port 4 configuration 1 "HP DeskJet 2600 series" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2 ulpt0: output error I didn't try to set up cups or similar stuff as that seems to be overkill for my simple use case and probably results in the same USB error? If someone has this kind of printer connected via USB: I am interested in the config. Thanks. PS: full dmesg attached in case it provides some info about the USB problem - hopefully it isn't stripped by the mailing list software; here's at least some USB info: uhci0 at pci0 dev 26 function 0 "Intel 82801H USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 16 uhci1 at pci0 dev 26 function 1 "Intel 82801H USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 21 ehci0 at pci0 dev 26 function 7 "Intel 82801H USB" rev 0x02: apic 2 int 18 usb0 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub0 at usb0 configuration 1 interface 0 "Intel EHCI root hub" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 1 -- Address is valid for this mailing list only, please do not reply to it direcly, but to the list.
