hi allen,
i think this is what it is happening in my case, it is just that i was
assuming that loading the daemons via the hotplugging was not
an issue. in fact, it would seem rather harmless to do it automatically
vs manually. perhaps a matter of timing?
it would seem then that my asus usb hardware is ok.
what exactly do you have to re-load every time?
i was able to put the printer back in operation on usb now.
i removed the uhci and printer modules, then plugged the printer.
then loaded the modules, then ran the daemons.
killall -HUP ptal-printd ptal-mlcd
rmmod uhci printer; modprobe uhci printer
ptal-mlcd usb:0 -device /dev/usb/lp0; ptal-printd mlc:usb:0 -like /dev/lp0
# plug or power on printer
what could be the problem be with this script in /etc/hotplug/usb/printer
#!/bin/sh
#
# this is /etc/hotplug/usb/printer
#
if [[ -n "$PRODUCT" && $(expr $PRODUCT : 3f0) = 3 ]] ; then
/opt/hpoj-010515/bin/ptal-mlcd usb:0 -device /dev/usb/lp0
/opt/hpoj-010515/bin/ptal-printd mlc:usb:0 -like /dev/lp0
fi
thanks for your help!
