Hotplug + firmware (newbie)

Hotplug + firmware (newbie)

[Therry Fagundes]

Hi, Im trying to get a Hp 1000 (usb) to work with hotplug, let me see if 
I understood:

1. Create a file, into /etc/hotplug/usb called hp100fw.usermap (the 
device could be included into /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, but in 
hotplug/usb/device.usermap is good pratice)

2. Insert into this file the fowlling lines (using pre-enumeration) :

# HP LaserJet 1000
hp1000fw             0x0003      0x03f0   0x0517    0x0000       
0x0000       0x00         0x00            0x00            
0x00            0x00               0x00               0x00000000

3. Create a file called hp1000fw (the name which I gave to the device) 
and put into this file the script (action) which needs to be done when 
it is connected :

#!/bin/sh
cat /lib/firmware/sihp1000.dl > /dev/usb/lp0


The firmware only will be uploaded if the device isnt "pre-enumerated".

Is that right ?
(I think that Im missing something)

Wow, we used Fedora Core 4 and didn't do anything of
these. We use an HP LaserJet 1010 and here is what we
do.

1. Plug the USB cable into PC.
2. Open the CUPS admin page (http://localhost:631) and
follow the instructions from add printer wizard.

The printer works. However, sometimes after reboot, we
have to unplug and plug the USB cable again.
