I am using Debian Linux and compiled a 2.218pre21 kernel with usb and 
usb printer support.  On boot up my Epson Stylus Color 860 printer is 
recognized  and cat /proc/bus/usb/devices reports that it is using the 
usblp driver.

echo "This is a test" > /dev/usb/lp0 does not generate any response.

lp -d5 Testfile results in

   sending job 'root@blue+265' to 5@localhost
   connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
   connected to 'localhost'
   requesting printer 5@localhost
   error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^b5' to 5@localhost

What have I missed?
