Hi I know that udev has the advantage that allowing people to write their own rules for mounting the devices. But can I just use the udev as-is? Does udev fully backward compatible with traditional /dev directory?
I have a Epson Stylus CX1500, which has been working fine. I used to check the ink level with the command: $ escputil --ink-level --new --raw-device /dev/usb/lp0 But now, having upgraded from Sarge to Etch, the command does not work any more. Is it because of udev or the escputil itself? Now when the command is issued, the printer reacted with some noise then tried to print something, then stopped. The escputil just hangs there. Moreover, how does the device URI work? To be specific, after upgrading from Sarge to Etch, I configured my CUPS the Sarge way, and it works great. Then I found that there is an auto-detected printer, so I give it a try too. However, no matter how I tweak it, it just refuses to work. The following list is the 2 CUPS printer in my system. The 1st works, the 2nd doesn't. The only difference that I can tell now is the device URI.
