 Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:24 am Post subject: /dev/usb/lp0 with GRP udev. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi, i installed gentoo onto my gf's machine using GRP. i've done a couple of emerge -uD worlds since then and everything is working fine. (after a few nightmares  ) I now want to get her psc 1315 printer working in cups. I've set up the exact same printer on other machines without a hitch before.... the only thing i've done differently this time is use the GRP instead of a regular stage3.
a node /dev/usb exists, but i cant get /dev/usb/lp0 to show up at all. I've tried recompiling udev, even installing and configureing useless programs like hot and cold plug....they both work, and the printer is shown in lsusb and dmesg.
i think i have to point the finger at udev... which is annoying because i know nothing about it!
any help would be appreciated!

Do not bump after 7 hours. You posted at 11:00pm and then bumped at 6:100am, some of us in the EST timezone sleep! (Only sometimes )
Are you sure you have hotplug, coldplug and udev emerged and coldplug running in the boot runlevel? | Code: | emerge coldplug hotplug udev
rc-update add coldplug boot |
If those are all installed, try this as root: | Code: | echo 'BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}="0311", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usb/lp%k", SYMLINK="usb/psc1315"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
udevstart |
You should now have 3 nodes you can choose from: /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/usb/psc1315
The nice thing is if you use the psc1315, it will never change, while the lp0 ones could if a another printer is plugged in at th same time. |

You said you have a /dev/usb node, do you mean a folder?
If it is a node, remove it and restart udev. (udevstart) |
