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

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

For all purposes, you can find the requested informations in the "usblog"
text file that i attached to this email.

Unfortunately, the "usb-bytes" file didn't do anything to the printer when i
applied it to the cat command ( cat usb-bytes file.epl > /dev/usb/lp0 ). No
response, no blinking light.

That's weird...
