 Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 9:51 pm Post subject: Strange USB Printer Behavior |
 |
|
I reconfigured my sound system this morning, and the USB printer stopped working. Eventually, I found the problem: the printer is now at /dev/lp0, which according to CUPS is a parallel printer, not a USB printer. I set the interface (in kcontrol) to parallel:/dev/lp0 and it works fine.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you.
My printer stoped working after I abort a printing job.
I reconfigured cups and the printer is now also at "usb:/dev/lp0", this is very strange, because it works at "usb:/dev/usb_printer" before.
How you found that the printer is now available at /dev/lp0? |

| Code: | | ls /dev/* | grep lp |
This finds anything in the /dev directory, or any directory on level lower, that looks like a printer. |
