Greetings; to be able to redirect an assembly listing created by an assembler, to /dev /usblp3 This command line fails: [gene@coyote Download]$ mamou -l dcheckmine.asm 2>&1 >/dev/usblp3 bash: /dev/usblp3: Permission denied Running as the un-priviledged user gene. And yet this printer is usable through cupsd by me after unplugging and replugging the parent usb hub AND restarting cups. It was present on the system and powered up at the last reboot, but not discovered. Much of this could be prevented if this printer, at least 3 hubs away from a motherboard usb port because of its physical location on another desk in the basement, was discovered at bootup time. However, in order for udevs discovery to work, I am finding that after a reboot I must disconnect the motherboard port to hub cable, wait a few seconds, and then reconnect it, at which time the discovery works normally. So, 2 questions really, why can't I (a normal user) use it, and why is it not properly discovered at bootup? Greg, you said I should use the udev recorded data to access it, but not where this data was, can you elaborate on that as my snooping thru /proc and /sys hasn't found any smoke, let alone the gun. Many Thanks. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
