I have a USB to Printer port cable to connect my old HP DJ890C. It can only be seen by lsusb if run by root: Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04b4:4100 Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
For Fedora 7 or 11 (ever tried), when plugged in, 'usblp' will be loaded and '/dev/usb/lp0' will be setup. However, for Ubuntu 810, 904 or 910, usblp won't be loaded and CUPS can't see it. The kernel message show the following error: [ 2564.232074] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 [ 2564.439134] usb 4-2: config 1 has an invalid descriptor of length 26, skipping remainder of the config [ 2564.439150] usb 4-2: config 1 interface 0 has no altsetting 0 [ 2564.463318] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 2564.467521] usb 4-2: can't set config #1, error -32 If I manually loads usblp, after issuing 'lpinfo -v', the device file will be setup and I can use the printer if manually set the URI. (usblp can't see it w/o lpinfo; CUPS can't probe it anyway) [ 2643.521134] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 2 proto 2 vid 0x04B4 pid 0x4100 I'm wondering if this is simply a new device should be set in udev rules, or udev rule is still broken here? -- usblp Kernel module needs to be removed and /dev/bus/usb/*/* made accessible for USB printers to work with CUPS 1.4.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
