The plea for help is a sort of double dip on this forum. I also posted a request for help with a driver for the Canon Pixma MP830. After sending that note, I tried to fix the problem myself by changing the parallel port connection provided in the SUSE-supplied driver with a USB port designation.
In short you connected printer using USB instead of parallel port cable.
It wouldn 't accept it, saying that the port wasn't properly configured!
I would need more details on this, like this: Printer connected to computer and turned on. Started YaST > Hardware > Printer Do you see printer in YaST list, or there is no nothing? What message below list tells?
It was already working, by the way, to connect the scanner feature to my computer. So, I tried to mount the usb port only to find I had no idea how to indicate the proper device in the mount command (I tried several of them, searched though the relevant man entries and even did a couple of apropos searches.)
You can mount hard drive connected to USB port, but not port itself.
If you can help me (despite my double-dipping), I would appreciate it.
It is obvious that there is no many with Canon Pixma MP830, but without more details people that know how to setup printers can't say what might be wrong, or help you to troubleshoot problem. For instance it would be helpful to turn printer on and run: dmesg | tail -n10 to see what kernel is doing. Is registered any activity on USB port. Then command: hwinfo --printer can give some information. Post both, don't just tell conclusion:"I don't see anything relevant" -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
