I have a little old Pentium 2 machine I decided to set up as a print server. No usb,
so I bought a Belkin pci usb card. Running on stable, but upgraded to 2.4.24 with
usbcore, OHCI, and usb printer modules. Now I'm trying to use it with a Brother
HL-5040 laser printer, but it just won't see it.
/dev/usb/lp0 is there, but /proc/bus/usb/devices is empty (should it be?); I've installed
the Brother driver and my printcap shows:
lp|HL5040:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HL5040:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:if=/usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterHL5040:but when I try to print all I get is
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
I guess this means it's a usb problem but don't know how to go about diagnosing it.
( I know the printer will also work with parallel, but my parallel port is physically broken...)
Any suggestions for the next step?
Thanks
Graham
