USB Printer in RH 7.1
I just replaced my old parallel HP Deskjet 540c with a USB Canon S450. Getting the HP working was rather simple. It was a parallel printer and the drivers came with RH 7.1.
However this one is USB and I can't find the drivers in the Printer Configuration window. Does anyone know how to install a USB printer? I know that USB support in Linux is not quite what it should be. |
First check to see if you have USB module load OK
dmesg | grep USB and dmesg grep hub You should see some thing usb.c: registered new driver hub hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xa400, IRQ 10 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xa000, IRQ 9 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found If you don't see those, you need to see if your hardware USB OK. lspci | grep USB will tell you Your printer port should be in /dev/usb/lp0 . Good luck |
