Hi,
Well, I've tended to find solutions (or ways around) with the help I've
received, so...
When I initially loaded Linux, it was a freebie on a magazine
"Australian Linux Journal": Mandrake 10.0 Community. USB worked find - I
was pleasantly surprised; printer worked first go, "out of the box" as
they say. My current distro is Mandrake 10 Official and... Noooooooo. No
USB? Very weird. Found this out when trying to config the scanner and
printer. Downloaded and installed SANE (I find their instructions very
unclear) and found out that when I tried USBview it tells me there's no
file:
'cannot open the file /proc/bus/USB/devices'
I looked and could find /proc/bus/USB/ but no 'devices' ???
Cat /proc/bus/USB/devices comes up with the same 'no such file or
directory'.
I checked my software and installed Libusb, as one of the recent sites
said this is preferable to kernel support (?).
Still... If anyone can help, that'd be great.
Thanks,
Patrick
