Product: Base System Reporter: papowell

Description papowell 2001-12-21 23:30:01 UTC
System: various, including ASUS A7V.  Does not appear to be a motherboard/system
  issue.
  PRINTER:  HP2200, HP Deskjet, Ricoh (i.e. - not a printer issue)
  Note: RedHat Linux does detection, as does MS 2000, so it does not
    appear to be defective combination

Fix: 

I sure would like to know...
How-To-Repeat: 
  1. start GENERIC system.  Plug and Play USB support is enabled.
  2. kill usbd  (killall usbd)
  3. start usbd:  usbd -v -d
usbd: opened /dev/usb0
usbd: reading configuration file /etc/usbd.conf
usbd: opened /dev/usb
usbd: detach event at 1008976442.172197000, product 0x0217, Hewlett Packard:
  vndr=0x03f0 prdct=0x0217 rlse=0x0100 clss=0x0000 subclss=0x0000 prtcl=0x0000
usbd: Found action 'Printer' for product 0x0217, Hewlett Packard
usbd: attach event at 1008976447.059681000, HP LaserJet 2200, HewLett Packard:
  vndr=0x03f0 prdct=0x0217 rlse=0x0100 clss=0x0000 subclss=0x0000 prtcl=0x0000
usbd: Found action 'Printer' for HP LaserJet 2200, HewLett Packard
usbd: Executing '/usr/bin/uprinter ${DEVNAME}'

usbd.conf has the following added:

# The entry below starts moused when a mouse is plugged in. Moused
# stops automatically (actually it bombs :) when the device disappears.
#
device "Printer"
        class 0x0000
        attach "/usr/bin/uprinter ${DEVNAME}"

Note: /usr/bin/uprinter is just:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$0" "$@" >/tmp/log
printenv >>/tmp/log
exit 0

and we get in /tmp/log:
/usr/bin/uprinter ugen0
DEVNAME=ugen0


-----

Basically,  it appears that the ulpt driver is either not being
called during the probing,  or it is not detecting the HP printer.

This is, as they say,  VERY odd.  However, /dev/ugen0.1 is attached
to the printer,  and you can write data to it.

I am totally baffled.

A lot has changed in the usb stack since this report.  Can 
you confirm whether the problem still exists please?
