Cups says with both cables connected: ---------------- New Printers Found: * Add This Printer HP LaserJet 2300 series (HP LaserJet 2300 series LPT parport0 HPLIP) * Add This Printer hp LaserJet 2300 series (hp LaserJet 2300 series USB #1) ----------------- When I use HPlip on the paralel port, I first see this error: "printmode mismatch with pen, tray, etc." After a short time I see: "open print channel failed; will retry in 30 seconds..." If you want to know it for sure, I can try it on another machine. I expect HPlip works fine over the paralel port there. dmesg after a reboot: jet2:/home/paul# dmesg | grep -i usb usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v3.0 uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 usb usb3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 usb usb4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 4-0:1.0: USB hub found ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 5 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 usb usb5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice hub 5-0:1.0: USB hub found usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x0B17 usbcore: registered new driver usblp drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- http://www.vandervlis.nl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
