Small home network. Bottom line, trying to get a USB printer working with cups. Right now I'm thinking it's more of a usb problem. USB related dmesg output... uhci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xd400-0xd41f at device 11.0 on pci2 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci0: [ITHREAD] usb0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: <VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1> on usb0 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xd000-0xd01f at device 11.1 on pci2 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] uhci1: [ITHREAD] usb1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: <VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1> on usb1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0: <VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller> mem 0xf2000000-0xf20000ff at device 11.2 on pci2 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ehci0: [ITHREAD] usb2: EHCI version 1.0 usb2: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2: <VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller> on ehci0 usb2: USB revision 2.0 uhub2: <VIA EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1> on usb2 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered when I turn on the printer I get... ulpt0: <HP Deskjet 3840, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2> on uhub1 ulpt0: using bi-directional mode Depending on the physical port connected to, it's either uhub0 or uhub1, connecting to usb0 / usb1 both of which are usb revision 1.0. All the information I have says this printer is usb 2.0. Why is it not attaching to ehci0/uhub2/usb2? echo "something" > /dev/ulpt0 results in silence. So does printing a test page from the cups web interface. It's a black hole. Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Would removing ohci/uhci from the kernel force it to connect to the usb 2.0 side of things? tia, Dave.
