Please cc: me on any responses. This is an old chain, but I wanted to reply to a couple of suggestions I got a month ago. You may remember the problem is that I can print to a USB printer from one system, but another nearly identical one, getting error -84 from the kernel after the first page comes out.
Actually, the situation is even a little more complicated: I have two identical multimedia bases (provides the USB ports etc. for the systems), two nearly identical laptops, and two identical printers (by identical, I mean the same make and model, etc..). Everything works except one laptop in one base with one printer, where I get the error -84 hundreds of times in the syslog. But here's a response to some earlier questions/suggestions: On Thu, May 01, 2003 at 09:46:25AM -0700, Randy.Dunlap wrote: > On Thu, 1 May 2003 12:38:06 -0400 Adam Kessel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > | I'm trying to have two systems plugged into the same printer, one > | parallel and one USB.

This kludge does, indeed, work. One Brother printer with both parallel and USB interface; I'm able to connect both computers to it and print fine.

I get the same problems when I try to print directly to the device, minus CUPS. --Adam
