[hpoj-devel] no luck with USB

[Michel Hoche-M. <ho...@gr...>]

I'm running a 2.2.18 kernel with an OfficeJet G55 connected via USB,
and i'm having no luck. I just grabbed the latest CVS update and still
nothing.

usbcore, usb-uhci, and printer are all loaded, /proc/bus/usb is mounted,
and i have a usb printer device:
crw-rw-r--   1 root     daemon   180,   0 Mar 22 02:20 /dev/usb/lp0


i did:

% /usr/local/sbin/ptal-mlcd usb:0 -device /dev/usb/lp0
% /usr/local/sbin/ptal-printd mlc:usb:0 -like /dev/lp0
% /usr/sbin/lpd

then i try to print to it, an a few seconds later i get:

ptal-mlcd: ERROR at transport/ExMlcCommandChannel.cpp:186, dev=<usb:0>,
pid=19020, errno=11
Reply timer popped on port=0, count=1!

ptal-mlcd: ERROR at ExMgr.cpp:819, dev=<usb:0>, pid=19020, errno=11
exClose(reason=0x3002)

ptalChannelOpen(chan=0x0804AF68): provider failed open!
ptal-printd(mlc:usb:0): ptalChannelOpen failed!  Will delay and retry.


I checked via ptal-devid:

% ./ptal-devid mlc:usb:0
ptalMlcDeviceGetDeviceIDString(dev=usb:0): unsuccessful status=13!
ptalDeviceGetDeviceIDString(dev=mlc:usb:0) failed!


Any ideas?

P.S.: i know the INSTALL doc says a 2.2.19 kernel is required, but i didn't 
see one on kernel.org. did i miss some patches somewhere?

Hi, Michel.  Sorry about the confusion.  I wrote that more with the future
in mind, since 2.2.19 isn't available yet.  I also mentioned the alternative
of updating just printer.c, and I'll post a "printer.c update kit" on the
hpoj webpage soon.  In the meantime, I have attached the printer.c patch
from the latest 2.2.19 prepatch.  It has the necessary fixes plus some other
changes I haven't tested personally, but it should work OK, since most of it
constitutes an updated backport of functionality that has been floating
around in 2.4 for a while.

Thanks! Both printing and scanning work like a champ.

What's the plan for dealing with the "Scan To" feature of the G-series?
