Hi, Hope I understood the question right - I'l try to explain how I got USB working for printing. Don't know if there are differences in SID.
I've Woody on G4 with benh-2.4.10-kernel, printing with CUPS (which I would recommend - but that's not the topic). On Mon, Oct 08, 2001 at 08:04:53PM -0600, Jason E.

Any one else seeing issues? > I've seen that when USB wasn't configured correctly. What I had to do was the following: 1.)Kernel needed CONFIG_USB and CONFIG_USB_PRINTER. 2.)mkdir /dev/usb/ mknod /dev/usb/usblp0 c 180 0 3.)adding the following line in /etc/fstab a line after the </proc>-entry: none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 That's it. ;-) Hope it helps SY -- M.f.G.
