[hpoj-devel] USB Cold Plug Etc.

[Allen B. <ba...@lo...>]

I cold started my machine this morning and was surprised to see that the
USB printer.o module was not 'cold plugged' as the machine booted. If I
pull the USB plug and reinsert it, the printer.o module is loaded OK (by
/sbin/hotplug?), after which ptal-mlc and ptal-printd can be started OK.
Is there a patch to the USB printer.c module for the G85 (or similar)
which can cause it to be loaded at boot time? (There's some info in the
hotplug README about using the 'usbmodules' command if a module is not
loading at boot time. Is this the way to go?)

I was also wondering what the status of FAXing to and from the PC. Soon?
Possible?

I was also wondering about the 'Scan To' button on the front panel. Can
this be programmed?

With sufficient direction, I would be glad to work on any of these
things. (As Ringo says in the film "Yellow Submarine", "I'm a born
button pusher.")

And yet another dumb question: what are 'PML' and 'MFPDTF' mentioned on
the TODO page at hpoj.sourceforge.net?

Thanks,
Allen
