The problem is that the printer is named /dev/lp0 and not /dev/usb/lp0 (or /dev/usblp0) which is expected by the printer/scanner driver hplip. I can print (with the usb printer driver pointing to /dev/lp0) and the the USB harddrive is working. * I used to have /dev/usb working until I updated recently. But the problem is that I updated a lot and don't know what caused the problem. * I know the baselayout is new (1.11.14-r3), the kernel is new (from 2.6.11 to 2.6.15) and about everything else as well. * I only used UHCI and not EHCI before (from what I remember but they where compiled as modules). Tried to write an udev rule to fix it but it didn't work... BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="MY56RCB2800498", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="psc1510"

/dev/usb/ is a devfsism i'm pretty sure, and /dev/usblp0 is a stupid name imho gregkh would know for sure whether this is a udev issue or a sucky printer driver issue
I've usbfs and the name could just as well be /dev/usb/lp0 i guess... > ls -R /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb: 001 002 003 004 005 devices /proc/bus/usb/001: 001 005 /proc/bus/usb/002: 001 /proc/bus/usb/003: 001 /proc/bus/usb/004: 001 002 /proc/bus/usb/005: 001 002 > scanimage -L Gives the following in /var/log/messages Feb 7 21:01:14 p4 python: hpssd [WARN] Inrecognized URI: usb:/dev/lp0
/dev/usb/lp0 is the proper name for a usb printer. I just tested this on my box and it works just fine. Can you attach your whole kernel .config file?

Why would you remove the usb printer driver? Ok, let's take baby steps... What does the kernel log show when you plug in the printer to the system? You can get this information from dmesg.

(In reply to comment #10) > Why would you remove the usb printer driver? I though that when I had the hplip driver maybe the usblp wasn't supposed to be loaded. I those line from #8 indicated that /dev/usblp0 didn't exist because of the usblp: usbcore: registered new driver usblp drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: removed drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 1 alt 0
Now it seems that my udev rule is working: # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/20-local.rules BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="MY56RCB2800498", NAME="usb/lp0", SYMLINK="psc1510" # ls /dev/usb lp0 # ls /dev/psc* -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 8 07:27 /dev/psc1510 -> usb/lp0 But I still get: > scanimage -L Feb 8 07:29:06 p4 hpiod: unable to read uri:hp:/usb/ANY?device=/dev/usb/lp0 Device::DeviceID: Inappropriate ioctl for device Feb 8 07:29:06 p4 python: hpssd [WARN] Inrecognized URI: usb:/dev/lp0 But when I removed my ruled and dis-reconnected the psc15100 the scanning actually works. scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/PSC_1500_series?serial=MY56RCB2800498' is a hp PSC_1500_series multi-function peripheral Feb 8 07:34:45 p4 python: hpssd [WARN] Inrecognized URI: usb:/dev/lp0 I will reboot and check again
Now, it works. I removed the rule which I created to fix the problem... I don't know what really fixed it? I emerged coldplug, recompiled kernel modules, and updated hplip and 2 other package from portage. As I figure hplip isn't rensponsible for creating /dev/usb/lp0 so that couldn't fix it. I still don't have anything alse under /dev/usb but maybe that's OK? > ls /dev/usb lp0 $ scanimage -L device `hpaio:/usb/PSC_1500_series?serial=MY56RCB2800498' is a hp PSC_1500_series multi-function peripheral
