I have installed TurboPrint several times before with success in using
my USB printer. That was BEFORE I enabled USB support in my new kernel.
I am now running 2.4.23 kernel with USB support enabled so that it would
configure my USB keyboard and mouse as USB devices and not as generic
devices. But now, I can't get my printer working. I have 'cat' all
usblp* devices in /dev and get a lot of strange characters so I would
imagine that it is getting the signal from the printer. I have also
'cat' all the lp* in /dev/usb and got 'no such device' telling me that
this kernel uses the USB printers as /dev/usblp0 and /dev/usblp1. I get
the same output from cat of usblp0 and usblp1, but when I try to use lpr
to print a testpage, nothing happens. I don't get any error messages but
the printer doesn't even blink or anything to signal that it is at least
trying....
any suggestions? I would hate to have to disable USB support in my
kernel just to be able to print...
