I have recently installed a USB inkjet printer on a new PCI card into our Red Hat 7.2 print server. It already runs a SAMBA-shared laser printer off the parallel port.
The new USB card shows up (but apparently twice: once as a "Natoma/Triton II" with a usb-uhci driver, and one as a Lucent Microelectronics with a usb-ohci driver. I'm not sure how meaningful this is. The laser printer is installed on /dev/lp0. The inkjet printer is installed on /dev/usb/lp0, and by all tests, the system knows it is there and a driver is installed. However, I can't print to the inkjet. In fact, when I tested on one occasion, data was sent to the laser printer, which printed out a "UNable to open the initial device, quitting" message. Restarting lpd has the following message: Stopping lpd: [ OK ] Starting lpd: Warning - EpsonInkjet: cannot open lp device '/dev/usb/lp0' - No such device [ OK ] Have I got the USB system duplicated somehow? Is the printer set up with the wrong device name: should it, for example, be /dev/usb/lp1?
