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

The fact that your printer won't crash even if you send gabbage is
perplexing... Do you have any other USB devices? Your
logs did say you have any other USB devices. Your logs suggests that
your USB controller may be sharing IRQ 10 with two other things
on the PCI bus. Can you send the output of your "lspci -vv" along?
We can probably try using setpci to selectively disable the other two
(e.g. if you have a winmodem that you don't/can't use under linux),
but blindly disabling PCI  is a somewhat dangerous thing to do if
we don't know what the other two are.

Your mandrake syslog has this line:
"Mar 31 21:58:44 localhost kernel: usbdevfs: remount parameter error"
It probably has something to do with hotplug. Is that the system
where the usbdevfs line was missing from /etc/fstab and you added after?
