|
After installing Gentoo i was following the instructions on how to configure my printer ( Lexmark Z65 usb printer) without much sucess. Below is the steps i took. first i plugged the printer in and made sure all the connections were good ( i know the printer works because it works with windows ). then i modprobe usbcore and usblp. then i did tail /var/log/messages. the i did a low level test which failed.
