[hpoj-devel] Found, but failing to communicate.

[Draco N. <dra...@ly...>]

I sent an email a
while back about a
problem with my
PSC500.  I gave up
on trying to get it
to work for a while,
but now I've decided
to give it again and
now I have a little
bit more useful
information on what
is going wrong.

When I run ptal-init
setup it says the
following:

    *** Found "PSC
500" but failed to
communicate with it!
    *** Elapsed time
for this attempt was
2 second(s).
    *** Check syslog
file for ptal-mlcd
error messages.
    *** See hpoj
documentation for
troubleshooting
information.

I've checked the
hpoj docs, but they
onely mention a
failure to
communicate error
with regards to USB
as far as I can see.

in /var/log/messages
I get:

Mar 28 10:45:46
pulsar ptal-mlcd:

I'm using hpoj-0.90
on Fedora Core 1
using kernel 2.4.22.
 I'm connecting to
the printer via a
switch as two
machines access it.

Any suggestions?
