My system:
iMac (350 MHz) with YDL (version 2.0) installed. Memory equals 256 Meg.
Printer HP Laserjet ... connected through iDock to usb port on the iMac.
Kernel 2.2.19-1 (default version 2.0 kernel).
This setup CAN print on the apple side.
I was following Tom Logan's suggestions in this matter but came adrift quite
early.
Upon running "more /proc/bus/usb/devices" ... I no reference to the HP
printer.
I have used insmod to load the printer driver so "more
/proc/bus/usb/drivers" does show the usblp driver.
Printtool does show a detected printer at /dev/usb/lp0.
Trying to get a test page shows the page is loaded into the spool. However
... I just get timeouts and reprints... and no printer output.
Any suggestions people??
