usb printing question - problem

[david]

I have a Epson stylus Photo 780 usb printer.
i am trying to set up printing.

tail /var/log/dmesg
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1/3, assigned device number 5
usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x4b8/0x5) is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c: registered new driver usblp
printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0
printer.c: v0.8:USB Printer Device Class driver



ls -l /dev/usblp0
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root         2180 Jul 26 19:44 /dev/usblp0



cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers
         usbdevfs
         hub
         hid
  0- 15: usblp


I have tried to test the connection with ls >/dev/usblp0 with no response.

What am i missing? Thanks
