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?
