Re: [Epsonepl-users] USB support for EPL-5800L, any good news ????

[M. M. <mm...@ya...>]

No, unfortunately my EPL-5800L did never succeed to print through USB since
the first release of the 0.2usb driver and neither the rpm package nor the
last 0.2.1usb.tgz did that. Each time i get the same issue, the printer
remain silent and did not respond to my requests...

However, my system configuration seems to be ok with all the necessary
modules correctly loaded as you can see below :

Also the "test5700lusb" fails to spit out a blank page.

In a last resort i decided to send my whole testlibusb's output in a hope
someone would help me to find a solution. I'm using redhat 8.0, and i
noticed that only  if i change the configuration to parallel port ( setting
usb=off in ps2epl ) the printer start to work :
