Hi,
slackware 11, kernel 2.6.18.5
On my motherboard the parallel printer port apparently went bust and as a
remedy I got a parallel-USB-printer-adopter-cable.
This is the first time I am using a USB port connection.
rc.udev is set to executable. Now after booting I can only print when I run
"rc.hotplug start" first.
If I read correctly, is that with these new kernels rc.hotplug is not needed
any longer since rc.udev takes care of whatever is supposed to do.
Here is some output from dmesg:
usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 6 ports detected
ohci_hcd: 2005 April 22 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)
USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v3.0
.....
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 1
pr
oto 2 vid 0x067B pid 0x2305
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
What would I have to do that the printer is working w/o running hotplug first?
I know that I could put the hotplug start command into rc.local, but that does
not seem to be the right solution.
Thanks & regards
