 Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2005 6:16 pm Post subject: USB and printing [solved] |
 |
|
| Code: |
Kernel Setup # lspci -v | grep USB
0000:00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
0000:00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
0000:00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev a4) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
|
Device Driver --->
<*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
<*> OHCI HCD support
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
<*> USB Printer support
<*> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
[*] HID input layer support
| Code: | # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 |
I have USB mouse , APC UPS and USB printer already pluged-in
And my printer does not work... I have the same driver as I had before (older PC)
So my guess is : there is something wrong with USB
Thanks

Major,
This is wrong
| Code: | | <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support |
You must not build both USB 1.1 drivers into the kernel.
Both as modules, with only one loaded at a time is fine.
I'm surprised any of your USB 1.1 stuff works

Actually I have a lot of trouble with this Installation....
Mouse and keyboard trouble (loosing sync)
Printer
UPS....
But Im gonna fix the printer first ...then Ill be able to print docs and read then outside ....
About the printer In the CUPS webapge
"Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
I removed UHCI HCD as suggested and
| Code: | # make
# make install
# make install_modules

Major,
Fix your kernel, reboot, then run uname -a to make sure you have a new kernel.
The date and time are the compile time of the kernel.

I rebooted and the printer came on by itself ...
Thanks
Was it not working only because UHCI HCD was compiled into the kernel ?

Major,
Probably - you had two kernel drivers for similar hardware. They usually interfere with one another and neither works properly.
Hows your mouse now ?
I would expect the other USB problems you hinted at to be improved or fixed too.

But it hard to reproduce. This was the original post about the mouse.

Major,
KVM switches play havoc with mouse timing. Look at VNC for remote control.
evdev is a generic interface for anything that generates events. Its ususlly useded for touchpads but can be used for mice and most other things too.
