I've worked through the printer setup guide, and I have this when I do dmesg: (I use metalog and can find this in any log files, but since it is dmesg, I assume it is ok)
| Quote: |
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device number 2
printer.c: usblp0: USB bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1104
|
or similar.
So, the next thing I do is this:
| Quote: | touch test.txt
# echo "Hello World" > test.txt
# cat test.txt > /dev/usb/lp0
Alternatively, for parallel port printers:
# cat test.txt > /dev/usb/lp0 |
However, nothing comes out of the printer. Is there something I might need to do extra that isn't in the guide, or how do I know something was even sent to the printer?
Thanks.

I will give it a go. That is the next stage in the printer documentation, but I figured there may be no point continuing with that until this worked, but I will give it a go. I'll keep you informed!

| Code: | foomatic-configure -s cups -p Epson-Stylus_C20UX -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -n Espon -d gimp-print

This is what I get, which is obviously wrong. However, I don't know what to put, because when I grep, I don't get a printer ID, so I don't know what driver is required.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
