No idea, but *even* if it works, it will be extremely slow and unusable for
large photo cards. I do not even know why HPLIP tries to supports this, the
hardware/firmware just is not up to the job. Mind you, over USB it *is*
good enough and works very well, it is a problem with the way it was
implemented over TCP/IP.
Three reasons why we support the "Disk I/O" protocol in addition to USB
mass storage:
1. Older devices ONLY support this method (esp. parallel devices!)
2. It works over the network (albeit very slowly)
3. Its a reasonable backup in case USB mass storage doesn't work for
some reason (maybe fstab or hotplug problem?)
I agree it is very slow, but the firmware and the protocol limits the
speed to a large degree. The code that downloads the data is I/O limited.
