usb printer :: detected :: testing failure :: no log

[macaiba]

Hi,

I have already read the 'Gentoo printer guide'. Tried to load the usb and printer modules but the printer has not been detected.

After a long time trying the see what was going wrong I decided to build them in the kernel instead. Doing this the system detected the printer !

That was the first step.

Then I tried to do a simple test, as in the guide : cat test.txt > /dev/usb/lp0

Nothing was printed and no error appeared in the log (I use metalog) !

Does anyone have any idea about what could be wrong or what other test could I do ?


Some information on the system:

- $ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0

When I cat filename > /dev/usb/lp0, the printer pulls paper, then stops.

I can not figure out how else to test this
