USB printing via ptal broke between 2.4.17 and .18

USB printing via ptal broke between 2.4.17 and .18

[Stanislav Meduna]

Hello,

somewhere between 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 the USB printing to the
HP printer using PTAL library broke. I now get following
in the log:

ptal-init: Starting the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.
ptal-mlcd: SYSLOG at ExMgr.cpp:660, dev=<usb:PSC_750>, pid=1183, errno=111
        ptal-mlcd successfully initialized. 
ptal-printd: ptal-printd(mlc:usb:PSC_750) successfully initialized. 
rc: Starting ptal-init:  succeeded
ptal-mlcd: ERROR at ExMgr.cpp:2445, dev=<usb:PSC_750>, pid=1183, errno=11
        llioService: llioRead returns 3, expected=6! 
ptal-mlcd: ERROR at ExMgr.cpp:853, dev=<usb:PSC_750>, pid=1183, errno=32
        exClose(reason=0x0010) 

Any idea what I should try to further corner the bug?

Red Hat 7.2
2.4.18 kernel
hpoj 0.8
hpijs 1.0
HP PSC 750 multifunctional device
alias usb-controller uhci
no devfs

Give usb-uhci a shot. I'm curious if it works better.

Also, can you try the latest 2.4.19 pre patch (-pre4 I believe)?

2.4.18, usb-uhci
  does start to print, but the whole machine freezes a page or two
  later (Alt-SysRq works). This was also the reason I chose uhci
  some versions ago.

2.4.19-pre5, uhci
  does not work. It appeared start to print (sucked the paper in),
  but that was it

2.4.19-pre5, usb-uhci
  the machine does not even come up, the modprobe usb-uhci in the
  boot scripts freezes
