[opensuse] USB to Parallel Converter Cable Question
Hello all, I hope this hasn't been answered elsewhere, I did not find it in my search of the archives. I recently purchased a usb to db25 female parallel printer cable so I could attach my HP LaserJet 6P to my new motherboard that has no parallel port. The problem occurs when I try to use the printer. Hopefully all relevant information: SuSE 10.1 uname -a: Linux phantasm 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux dmesg output: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-3: new device found, idVendor=4348, idProduct=5584 usb 1-3: new device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x4348 pid 0x5584 dammed@phantasm:~> lsmod |grep usb usblp 30848 0 usb_storage 97344 1 usbcore 149288 6 usblp,cdc_acm,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd scsi_mod 163760 6 st,sr_mod,usb_storage,sg,libata,sd_mod ide_core 164996 4 usb_storage,ide_cd,amd74xx,ide_disk When I attempt to set up the printer with YaST, the printer module segfaults at around 1% of searching the driver database. The backtrace output is in the attached text file. When attempting to set up the printer manually, the following occurs: phantasm:~# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p hplaserjet6p -E -v usb:/dev/usblp0 -m /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/HP-LaserJet_6P-hpijs.ppd lpadmin: add-printer (set model) failed: server-error-internal-error The cable was purchased from SFCables and comes with absolutely no useful documentation. Am I an idiot and missing something simple? Is there any hope? Should I attempt to return the usb to db25 and use one of those usb to Centronic adaptors?

There was some problem at one time with the printer database, there were some messages here but seem to have deleted mine, so if you find out how to rebuild the printer database I think you will be ok.

I don't know if this will be that helpful, but the
issue appears resolved. I installed an older version
of yast2-printer (2.13.13-6 down from
2.13.19-something) that got me past the updating
driver entries section that was segfaulting before.
Then, the info from
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=466535
was very helpful as well.
Thanks kalifq and anyone else who was looking into
this for me.

When I attempt to set up the printer with YaST, the printer module segfaults at around 1% of searching the driver database.
Usually as a workaround remove /var/lib/YaST2/ppd_db.ycp so that YaST will re-builds its database from scratch. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229231
