Am I missing something obvious? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-0.6.116.1.4-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. system-config-printer 2. -> new 3. ---> Find no useful locally-connected devices Additional info:
booting with 'pci=routeirq' does not affect this problem.
If /dev/usb/lp0 doesn't exist you have a kernel issue of some sort.
Please attach full dmesg and /proc/bus/usb/devices, taken with the printer connected (do not drop them into the comments box).
'modprobe usblp' solved the problem, do you still want dmesg and /proc/bus/usb/devices ???
I see. Something is wrong with hotplug (FC3 does not use udevsend). If the device was created after, it means that udev works right. No, I do not need dmesg in this case. However, the /proc/bus/usb/devices is always needed, to verify that the printer reports correct class, etc. The driver should be loaded on hotplug. N.B. it makes no sense to verify load-on-open on udev systems, because /dev/usb/lp0 is created by udev when the driver is loaded. What does this produce: grep usblp /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.usbmap ?
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
