good documentation skills :o) you have the usb-printer module including in the build.conf? do a lsmod and do the usb modules show up? do a modprobe usb-printer what happens? what messages are in the /var/log/messages file when it tries to load the usb-modules. the parellel ones below are to do with the lp port driver I think, not usb -----Original Message----- From: Matthew E.

Subject: [Thinstation-general] USB Printer problems I am using ThinStation 2.0.1 with the custom rdesktop compiled by Richard Dolinsky. I am able to connect to my Windows server and print just fine to a parallel port printer using this setup. When I try to set up a USB printer, I am unable to print. Here's what I've checked: 1) Made sure that USB is enabled in the thinstation.conf.buildtime: USB_ENABLED=On 2) Made sure that my printers setting was correct in the thinstation.conf.buildtime: PRINTER_0_NAME=parallel1 PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/printers/0 PRINTER_0_TYPE=P PRINTER_1_NAME=usb1 PRINTER_1_DEVICE=/dev/usb/lp0 PRINTER_1_TYPE=U 3) Logged in on Alt-F2 and tried to print directly from the command prompt with: cat /etc/thinstation.defaults > /dev/usb/lp0 and got the following message: /dev/usb/lp0: No such file or directory 4) Checked the /dev directory. While the /dev/printers/0 device is there, there isn't even a /dev/usb directory. 5) Checked /var/log/messages to see what's going on while booting. Here is what I think is the relevant parts of this file: ---------- Jul 2 11:23:18 TS02_R syslog.info klogd: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP(,...)] Jul 2 11:23:18 TS02_R syslog.info klogd: parport0: irq 7 detected Jul 2 11:23:18 TS02_R syslog.info klogd: lp0: using parport0 (polling). Jul 2 11:23:18 TS02_R lpr.info lpd[1371]: restarted Jul 2 11:23:20 TS02_R syslog.info klogd: Got silent jpeg. Jul 2 23:23:20 TS02_R daemon.info linuxrc: Starting pid 1649, console /dev/vc/1: '/bin/start-session' Jul 2 11:23:20 TS02_R daemon.debug xinetd[1642]: Reading included configuration file: /etc/xinetd.d/telnet [file=/etc/xinetd.conf] [line=15] Jul 2 11:23:20 TS02_R daemon.debug xinetd[1642]: Reading included configuration file: /etc/xinetd.d/www [file=/etc/xinetd.d/www] [line=11] Jul 2 11:23:20 TS02_R daemon.notice xinetd[1642]: xinetd Version 2.3.13 started with no options compiled in. Jul 2 11:23:20 TS02_R daemon.notice xinetd[1642]: Started working: 2 available services Jul 2 11:23:22 TS02_R syslog.info klogd: Got silent jpeg. Jul 2 11:24:02 TS02_R lpr.err lpd[1840]: /dev/usb/lp0: No such file or directory ---------- Notice that it finds the parallel port, but does not find the USB port. 6) Check the boot.log file. Here is what I think is the relevant parts of this file: ---------- S19bootmenu S20session S25mdetect modprobe: Can't locate module usb-hid Autodetecting mouse device... Found ImPS/2 on /dev/psaux S25menu S25rdate ---------- I get the feeling that something isn't loading the USB driver. 7) Checked machine's BIOS and booted it into Windows 98 to make sure the USB ports were actually working...they were.
