Hello All.
I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.3., Kernel
2.3.18-3. I hope this will be relevent to this list.
I'm not managing to print.
I configured the printer using 'printconf-tui' and added a local
printer device, using /dev/usb. The printer is a HP OficeJet K80
series, and the package has reference to it and a suitable driver, namely
hpijs.
I think the problem lies with the usb
port. I installed the PCI 2
PORT USB 1.1 CARD for our UPS, but we've always used the serial port, 'cause it
works and I couldn't get the usb to, so I have never figured out how to mount
and use the port. My lsmod produces the list after plugging in the printer
and rebooting:

Also noted, the only device related to usb in /dev,
was /dev/usb , thats the only reason I used it in the printconf-tui, not
because I know what I'm doing. What should I be using? What am
I missing, docs I'm not reading or other naughty/lazy things am I doing/ not
doing? Please advise.
Thanks, Chow,
Trevor.
