usb printer

[glenn greenfield]

Hi Regis-

First of all you'll need to make sure the modules are loaded.  Do this:

lsmod 

You want to see at least these two loaded:

usb-core
printer

If you don't see them then you need to install the modules like so:

sudo modprobe printer

That should installl both modules.  Then do lsmod again- it should have loaded both usb-core and printer.  If they are there then restart cups and try this:

cat nameoftextfile > /dev/usb/lp0

Also open up a browser and enter this url:

http://localhost:631

What brand name and model of printer is it?  There may be drivers for it.
