Hi all, I am trying to connect the HP phtosmart 318 to my linux box: mandrake 9.1... Firstly I create a new entry in the KDE Control Center for digital vameras, and when I push the button to test it I always see the following message: "unable to initialize camera. Check your port settings and camera connectivity and try again..." It seems like operating systems doean reconise the usb port, isnt it? _Is it needed to compile the kernell or something like that to get the usb ports working? HOw do I know if USB ports are working well or not? Any advices??? Thanks a lot... Alex ___________________________________________________ .
