USB printer not detected... WIth any recent kernel. [SOLVED]

[Andyun]

Maybe this link will help you.

[GJones]

Thanks, but unfortunately hp-setup does not see the device either.

Is there something in the dmesg output after connecting the printer?

[GJones]

Nope, nothing at all.

Post the output of this:
Unplug the printer, Run 'udevadm monitor' and keep it running, plug the printer in and wait a while (like a minute at the very most). If you're lucky something shows up and if you feel like it you can unplug your printer again, which should generate some more output. Be sure not the play with other peripheral devices in the meantime. If nothing shows up, you're best bet is digging through the differences between their and Slackware's mostly vanilla kernel.

[GJones]

No udev events at all!

I think I'll just drag out a different printer.

Maybe this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/872711

Possibly but I don't think so, lsusb seems to see the printer with that bug. Also, this problem seems to apply even to very recent (3.2.x) kernels.

The printer is not defective or damaged. As I indicated, it works fine in Debian Stable, and also works under Windows XP and Windows 7.

Did you test this recently?

[GJones]

Yes, quite recently.
