Hi everyone,
I've just bought an HP Photosmart 618 and am having great difficulty getting
it to work reliably with Linux. I've tried it both with the USB Mass Storage
driver and the dc2xx driver, with no luck. The camera works fine with
Windoze, of course.
With the storage driver (the mode I'd rather use), I can get the camera's
card mounted on /dev/sda1 about 50% of the time (seems to be alternate
attempts, if that helps...), but when I try and copy the files over to the
hard-drive, it will do several megabytes and then hang. (The rest of the
system is still up, but I can't even kill -s 9 the cp process, and the
machine won't normally shut down cleanly either.)
dmesg shows the following:
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Model: Rev:
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 126465 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: sda1
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
(The last line, obviously, only shows up after the transfer has stalled)
The above happens about 50% of the time; the rest of the time the mount
command hangs.
I've tried using kernels 2.4.9 and 2.4.10-pre9, and there is no difference in
behaviour between the two.
Can anyone help with this?
All the best,
--
