 |
|
Hello!
I'm trying to install my HL 1430 under Linux. It works perfectly under windows. But my Linux system (same computer) doesn't detect neither the printer nor my calculator using the Silverlink USB cable when I plug them into the computer during runtime.
Both should work under Linux (linuxprinting.org database; for the Silverlink USB cable a special kernel module is available which is loaded).
I have compiled basic USB support into the kernel and the USB printer model is also loaded, hotplug is installed and was started during system startup. I can use my DeskJet 690C on this machine via parallel port, too.
The dmesg output does not show anything when I connect the USB devices:
| Code: | dmesg | grep usb
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
usbcore: registered new driver tiglusb
drivers/usb/misc/tiglusb.c: TI-GRAPH LINK USB (aka SilverLink) driver, version 1.07 |
lsmod
| Code: | lsmod | grep usb
tiglusb 7684 0
usblp 11136 0
|
| Code: | uname -rs
Linux 2.6.9-rc1-love2 |
Can anyone help me?

What does lsusb show?
Have you emerged coldplug as well as hotplug? |

lsubs always shows the same (no difference when I connect the USB device)
| Code: |
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
|
I haven't installed coldplug yet because I thought it is only necessary when USB devices shall be detected during the system startup.
But I will have a try... |

I had that exact problem, it was because I had:
- enabled UHCI instead of OHCI in the kernel
- not installed coldplug
I corrected those two, and the problem went away. |
