[RedHat123]

I have an epson stylus cx3200
ive printed with this printer last week so i know it works, but now for some reason i cant get anything to print

lpc> status
printer:
printer is on device 'usb' speed -1
queuing is enabled
printing is disabled
no entries
daemon present

Have you done anything during that time that would effect your
loading of modules for USB? Are you starting the LPD daemon at boot?

ink?

What happens when you attempt to print? does Linux even communicate with the printer? are you getting any errors?

[lamatop]

Check if your printer is started (the url refes to your local cups server) :

Cups printer listing (http://localhost:631/printers)

If not, start it.

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, it does seem that something isnt right with USB
When i look at the printer configuration, i see this comment

"unable to open USB device usb: dev/usb/lp0 " : no such device

i started the cups-lpd service and now it works.

OK...I know this will sound petty, but are you turning your printer on before you boot Linux, so it will be detected? if yes...is this USB connection an add-on card? What entries are in the results of running the command.."lsmod"...that pertain to USB?

[RedHat123]

running lsmod...the USB related items are
usb-uhci 26380 0 (unused)
usbcore 79168 1 [printer scanner hid usb-uhci]

and no, i think i had the printer off when i rebooted

[JohnT]

Well turn it on then reboot.....then get a "lsmod" read-out for USB. Check if working now.
