Hi alltogether, Still struggling with the officejet v30 ... In the documentation from sourceforge they tell me to do: 'Be sure to mount /proc/bus/usb (..) at startup from /etc/fstab. /proc/bus/usb/devices provides useful information about the devices attached to the bus' So I do cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and it shows: wolfi@linux:~> cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 4 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB OHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=d98ee000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

I am afraid my box does not mount /proc/bus/usb; here is my current /etc/fstab version: /dev/hda4 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdr (..) auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 What kind of line should I add to include /proc/bus/usb ??
