Hello,

Some time ago, I used the install guide on an Ubuntu machine and works. Now, I got the 7.10 version of UBUNTU and tried again to install a laserjet 1018 that worked before. But it seams that the hotplug is not recognizing the printer. I did a tail -f \var\log\messages and turn the printer on. I got:

Jun 15 18:48:33 amelith kernel: [ 7265.462974] usb 5-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 23
Jun 15 18:48:33 amelith kernel: [ 7266.006058] usb 5-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 24

Jun 15 18:48:34 amelith kernel: [ 7267.068256] usb 5-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26

And the printer is not shown on the printer manager.

Does anyone have a clue of what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I have read it...

I did all again. The steps were:

sudo make uninstall
make
./getweb 1018
sudo make install
sudo make install-hotplug
sudo make cups
sudo system-config-printer

I turn the printer on. The logs:

Any ideas?

# usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0

What does that say?

Error: No such file or directory: can't open '/dev/usb/lp0'

I got a doubt: I have an UBUNTU package named foo2zjs. I did the proceedings above with it installed and with it removed from the computer. To make my printer work, I must remove this package and install only using the following steps, wright?

sudo make uninstall
make
./getweb 1018
sudo make install
sudo make install-hotplug
sudo make cups
sudo system-config-printer

It is a Ubuntu USB error, then. Seek help from them. No THIRD PARTY support is given.
