To be more specific, this is all on my test machine running:
Code:
SW 12.2
XFCE 4.4.3
Kernel 2.6.27.7-SMP i686
Pentium 4
My usb printer device discription:
Code:
Description: HP PSC 1600 series
Location: Local Printer
Printer Driver: HP PSC 1600 series Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.10.33
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://HP/PSC%201600%20series?serial=XXXXXXXXXXXX (I thought for security reasons, I edit out the serial# with XXX... :scratch:

Try to add CUPS service to start up services. You can use pkgtool as root.
Code:
su > pkgtool > setup > services > rc.cups
Then restart computer. |
Thanks for mentioning that. I did
chmod +x rc.cups over at /etc/rc.d/ and rc.cups reboots at every startup. I think I narrowed it down and it's a bigger problem than I expected. When my computer boots up with the usb printer connected while rc.cups, rc.hald, and rc.udev is up and running, the system is able to detect the usb printer device and is able to print with cups. These are the outputs that I get:

an 21 16:20:17 tracert kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
Jan 21 16:20:17 tracert kernel: usblp0: removed
So my new question is, if I disconnect and reconnect my usb printer device, how do I make the system recognize and detect the usb device without rebooting the system? Any ideas?...
And another thing that I found out, there seems to be a conflict between the usb printer device and the ntfs flash drive and I don't know how to fix it. At the first run I have no issues when plugging and replugging my usb ntfs flash drive and external-HD, the system detects it just fine and I'm able to access the data--ONLY IF I don't mess around and reconnect my usb printer device. To be more specific, the usb flash drive fails to connect and no icon appears on the desktop. No error message is displayed in /var/log/messages,
lsusb returns nothing, and
rescan-scsi-bus -l says "No SCSI host adapters found in sysfs"...If I reboot the machine and try to plug in and access the flash drive, it'll work as long as I don't plug in my usb printer device. By the way, I'm in the audio, video, and plugdev group.
Edit--
I think I found the fix. I just can't believe it...but it is what it is. The reason why the system couldn't detect my usb printer device was because I was connecting with an addition usb extension chord. The chord originally came from Netgear WG111. Anyway after disconnecting the usb extension chord, I used and plugged in the stock usb chord that came with the printer, and that worked.
lsusb was able bring up my printing device. So far this only affects my PC and I was surprised that my primary computer laptop was unaffected by this issue. My laptop was able to use the addition usb extension chord and the system was able to detect the devices. I guess I'll have to stop using the usb extension chord whenever I use the printer on my PC.
