[hpoj-devel] HPOJ G85 under SuSE 9.1

[Stefan F. <li...@sf...>]

Hi,

I have a problem to get the HPOJ G85 working under SuSE 9.1

ptal-init finds the printer and doesn't give any error messages.

ptal-devid gives the followig output

# ptal-devid

ptal-devid: Failed to retrieve device ID string for device 
"mlc:usb:OfficeJet_G85"!

Syntax: ptal-devid [<devname>] [-previous] [[<modifiers>] <queries>]...
Where <devname> may be one of:
        mlc:usb:OfficeJet_G85
Supported <modifiers> (for following <queries>):
        -previous    -- Gets previous string (must be first option)
        -short       -- Displays field values only
        -long        -- Displays leading field name through semicolon
Supported <queries>:
        -field <key> -- Queries specific field
        -mfg         -- Queries manufacturer fields
        -mdl         -- Queries model fields
        -cmd         -- Queries command set fields
        -sern        -- Queries serial number fields

What is wrong?

Stefan

Similar problem here. It's well known for years. Maybe there are two
reasons:

1. SuSE 9.1 kernel doesn't support libusb - at least with the 
   x86_64 version

2. There used to be some problems especially with the G85. If the
   device is in energy saving mode, communication with the device
   is broken - sometimes.
   A workround may be to power cycle the G85.

Will it work if I recompile the kernel?

I tried this but it didn't work.

Unfortunately, I don't know. Perhaps you will get an answer on the SuSE
mailing list.

Try restarting hotplug or unloading and reloading the USB modules...
