 |
|
Ive had this working before, I dont know whats changed & I cant seem to find anything helpful searching the forums.
The prob. is that I have a usb HP2150 which can print & scan images as well as read various flash memory cards. Once apon a time I could make full use of all these functions but now the printer dosnt even show up when I do a lsusb.
I dont know whats changed since I last had it working, which was a while ago. Ive tried fixing it but without any joy  , so im hoping someone here might have an idea.
lsusb output (with & without the printer plugged in == no change)

dmesg dosnt show anychange when I remove & replug the printers usb cable.
Side not.
I have an iaudio mp3 player that plugs in through usb & I have no trouble with it. Ive tried changing the printer to other usb ports with no luck & the printer works fine under windows ( I cant beleive I have to reboot into windows  )
Waiting with fingers crossed & a big bag of thankyou's for any help someone might have

Hi oniboy,
I am having the same difficulty, but with a different device- I have an midiman oxygen8, and it is not recognized by the system after checking dmesg, /var/log/messages, lsusb, systool, etc. The funny thing is that the device powers on just fine using power from the USB port.... Very strange, indeed- I bet the root of our problem is similar- I will let you know if I find anything, and if you learn anything, do let me know- I will bookmark your post and keep you updated with my findings-
I am successfully loading an i-Pod, a Tascam US-122 and syncing a Treo 600 through USB- Just the usbmidi device left! |

Ok, i finaly got some time to give this prob a good looking over & ofcourse it turned out to be something simple that id missed somewhere along the way
I found the prob was with the usb drivers, for some reason I had UHCI_HCD built into the kernel which was unnecessary on my system & OHCI_HCD was missing. So I removed UHCI_HCD & put both OHCI_HCD & EHCI_HCD in as modules.
If ur unshore where this is in the kernel config it under Device Drivers->USB support.
To check which drivers u need do this :
| Quote: |
> spci -v | grep -i 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])

It will show OHCI or EHCI or whatever is need at the end of the line.
Hope that gets things fixed for you too emtpyset
