Hi Till, here is the results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 [sudo] password for gpw: Error: Input/output error: GET_DEVICE_ID on '/dev/usb/lp0' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
You are correct as I have always used a Parallel Cable with my LaserJet4. If I used a Bluetooth adapter to the Parallel port on the LaserJet, do you think that would work? This T61 is the first computer I have owned that did NOT have a parallel Port connection. I apologize for your trouble, I didn't mean to get you side tracked like that. Thanks for helping me. On my R51 connected to the Laserjet4 running WindowsXP, I had to tell Windows to use the USB port to find the Printer, it does that and works. That could be a way to fix it with Linux CUPS. Good luck on the Hardy release, really working great, had a little problem with the network manager "step stairs" Icon desipearing from the top panel. The network itself was fine just the Icon in the top panel. It's all fine now. I did have some early crashes with Tomboy but those are all fine now. Just loaded SongBird yesterday, slick program, a true Windows Killer and I might say OSX also... Thanks again...
