Hi,
I'm trying to use two USB printers on my server, a HP DeskJet 5500C (which
is working pretty fine) and a HP LaserJet 2200. The problem is that the
LaserJet is detected as a generic USB device, not as a printer:
ugen0: HewLett Packard HP LaserJet 2200, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3
The DeskJet one is detected without problems as ulpt0:
ulpt0: hp deskjet 5550, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
I created both /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/ulpt1 using MAKEDEV:
crw------- 1 root wheel 113, 0 Apr 16 16:39 /dev/ulpt0
crw------- 1 root wheel 113, 1 Apr 16 16:40 /dev/ulpt1
Relevant kernel options:
# USB support
device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device ugen # Generic
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
device ulpt # USB printer
I also tried to disconnect the DeskJet printer and connect LaserJet
in the same USB port, but it's still detected as ugen0.
I'd be glad if anybody could give me a clue, cause I didnt find
anything usefull googling. Btw, I'm running FBSD 4.8-STABLE.
Thanks in advance,
